Edge of the Abyss: Exploring the Possibilities

Big fan of pirates, simple side love stories, and sea monsters. The action scenes were fantastic and a nice step up from the first book. If you liked the first book, this sequel is worth a read.

Such an amazing and thrilling world the author has crafted! (though I personally would not want to be its inhabitant lol).I love munching (and agonizing) over the captain’s mind games, over Cas’s struggle to find her true purpose and feelings in between all this mess, and the kind hearts of the fifteen gang members that shine through the hard times.It is also my dream to be able to create such a grand and complex world and characters like Emily has done so greatly in this book. It inspires me and so definitely gets a 9.5/10 from me!Looking forward to her next installments! XD

This was an excellent follow up to the first novel, The Abyss Surrounds Us. Sometimes you read a sequel and it takes a while to get going, the author trying to refresh the reader's memory. That's not the case here. We are straight into the nitty gritty. I loved the relationships between all of the characters, not just Cas and Swift. They are so well rounded, they jumped off the page at me. The dialogue and internal thoughts are natural and flow well. The world also continues to be fully believable. There is a bit of a shocking twist towards the end, but it doesn't feel forced because we are sort of prepared for it part way through. I actually liked this book better than the first. The author leaves things open enough that a spin off series could be written in the future. I hope one is, because everything about the Abyss is awesome. Highly recommend.

This book had me thrown in a whirlwind of feelings. I laughed, screamed, cried.When I was so invested in the relationship between Cas and Swift during the first book, I could not bring myself to like Swift anymore after the revelation at the end of the first book. But as Cas tried to forgive her, and I understood her struggle, I also tried to forgive Swift like her. But I guess my love for animals was too strong for that.Emily Skrutskie did a fine job at writing this story, the world set up is brilliant and very well thought.Definitely worth reading, if you are even just a little curious about the ocean and pirates all the while loving lesbians!

Menuda desilusión me llevé, es un buen libro, pero la primera parte le pega diez mil patadas a esta. Además sentí como que el final era super precipitado, que la autora tenía ganas de acabar y dijo: hasta aquí hemos llegado, bye.En fin, es una buena saga, pero podría haber dado mucho más.
