The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. While some of the previous book’s fans will appreciate knowing what happens next, many will wish they’d left it up to their own imaginations. This sequel as a whole is waterlogged, sodden with new characters and choked with plotlines that dampen the tension, dilute the romance and threaten to leave readers scratching their heads instead of turning the pages. Unfortunately, what was once a compelling love triangle feels much less so this time around, partially due to the fact that Eureka’s encounters with Brooks are much fewer and farther between. She also continues to wrestle with her conflicting love for Ander and for her best friend, Brooks, who remains possessed by Atlas.

In Solon’s subterranean grotto, Eureka comes closer to the truth of her identity and to an understanding of how she can undo the darkness she’s unwittingly released on the world. Eureka, her close friend Cat, her family, and her magical sweetheart, Ander, leave behind their flooded Louisiana bayou and make their way to dry land in search of a reclusive Seedbearer who holds the secret to defeating Atlas. Seventeen-year-old Eureka Boudreaux’s tears have unleashed a flood of biblical proportions, threatening to drown the whole of the Waking World and paving the way for the rise of Atlantis and its evil ruler, Atlas ( Teardrop, 2013).
