All The Tides Of Fate by Adalyn Grace is the conclusion to her All The Stars And Teeth duology. Friends, I was seriously sleeping on this duology. I enjoyed it SO much. Unfortunately, it did not catch my attention until recently. But the upside is that you can read a book at anytime, it isn’t like they expire. All The Tides Of Fate wonderfully wraps up the duology and ties up loose ends which I greatly appreciated.
Adalyn Grace’s book picks up right where All The Stars And Teeth leaves off. FYI, maybe a good idea to not continue reading this review if you do not want to be spoiled for the first book. Amora’s father is dead and she is now the queen of Visidia. Unfortunately, half of her soul is within Bastian and Amora no longer has soul magic or any magic. Still, she will work to enact changes to better her kingdom. First off, she now allows everyone to practice more than one magic. Second, to improve her image, she is about to set out on a tour of the islands to meet eligible bachelors and choose one to marry.
However, Amora has an ulterior motive in her tour. She is looking for a scale from a legendary creature called a godspoken which will give her the power of a god. Unfortunately, that involves lying to Vaetea, the mermaid. Also, Amora is fighting her attraction to Bastian because he literally has part of her soul. She wants to ensure that the part of her soul within him is not influencing her feelings for him. Oh, the tangled webs they weave.
All The Tides Of Fate is a wicked fast read. For an almost 400 page book, I managed to get through it in two days. I was immediately engaged. I appreciated that this book did not spend the whole first chapters recapping book one. The action begins immediately. Amora’s character development is dynamic and believable. The pace at which she grows as a person is realistic. Also, the newly added magic element kept me intrigued with the worldbuilding. So, I think you should pick this book up if you’ve already read the first book and want to read a solid sequel.
