"This book was truly amazing, in my opinion. I liked how it referred to the vast expansion of sand as a 'waterless sea'. It was really deep. It made me think a lot. Some parts were hard to understand, but it was okay. The plot was very adventurous, and not very predictable. I liked it a lot."

" I really like the creation of magic in these books, rather than it just happening it is an manipulation of the elements around you. These are a fun read with adventure and a bit of romance. "
— Dawnetta, 2/9/2014" Very intriguing. It was about as good as the first book. I can't wait to read the third book. "
— Sallie, 2/5/2014" i couldnt really understand the story though.... "
— ayume, 2/2/2014" I loved and hated this book. Because it't the middle of a trilogy it leaves you hanging...ugh! Well thank goodness the library has the next one. "
— Melanie, 1/25/2014" Highly enjoyed reading this book. I don't consider it exactly EPIC, but its still in my top 25 best books of all times "
— Michael, 1/19/2014" I liked this second book in the series better than the first. It certainly kept my attention better, and with its cliffhanger ending I'm looking forward to the third in the series. Nothing really super engaging about the story, just interesting and I'm getting more connected to the characters. "
— Rachel, 1/13/2014" The story is OK - not as interesting yet as the first book in the series. The reader is OK, but a bit too given to strange accents for a couple of the characters. "
— Hope, 1/10/2014" This is a great series! "
— Carol, 1/9/2014" I was not disapointed with the sequel. I was a little confused at the tension and strane that was batrayed in Darrow and Calwyin's relationship. I felt like I missed something between the first book and this one and maybe I did. There is a tackful kiss in this story. "
— Jill, 12/30/2013" See review of The Singer of All Songs "
— Candi, 12/24/2013" It's a good story of magic and finding a way to save people. I liked the books a lot "
— April, 12/22/2013" Kate Constable does an excellent job of developing the characters from The Singer of All Songs. I actually enjoyed this book more than the first book in the trilogy; Constable seems more comfortable with the world and the characters. I look forward to reading the third book of the trilogy. "
— Becky, 12/9/2013" I think I liked this one better than the first, more cohesive. "
— Jane, 12/9/2013" Much better than the first one-the stakes seemed much higher. I forgot I was reading it for research, and really enjoyed it. "
— Rebekah, 12/8/2013" I enjoyed this book better than the first book. I listened to both on cd and really enjoyed the sound effects and voices. "
— Summer, 10/26/2013" Second in the series. Decent, but dragged a bit. It had a story, but felt more like the set-up for the end book that it was. "
— Shannon, 10/7/2013" I really like this whole trilogy. In the second book, I really appreciated the importance of setting and the way it has such a huge impact on the characters' different abilities to function and the way they relate to each other. "
— Sassy, 7/31/2013" The Waterless Sea wasn't as great as The Singer of All Songs, but I still loved it! The drama between Calwyn and Darrow is a little dramatic, but I don't mind it. There's not much else that I remember- I will update my review after rereading it! "
— Kylie, 7/27/2012" This fantasy, the second part of a triology, is probably a 3.5 for me. It is really well written, but it is still a bridge novel between the other two books. I've read it twice and found it slower and less interesting than the first book. "
— Kristen, 5/23/2012" Better than the first book, to my mind. Smoothly written, and I think the characterization was well done. Not remarkable, but well done. "
— Stephanie, 3/19/2012" Strong second volume in the series, increases knowledge of the world created in the first volume. "
— Linwe, 11/17/2011" im not really into fantasy, but these were awesome! "
— Kerra, 9/3/2011" This series is excellent. Recommended for young and old. The characters are wonderful, Calwin is a fantastic hero and the story is a rollicking good tale. "
— Cecilia, 9/2/2011" Much better than the first one-the stakes seemed much higher. I forgot I was reading it for research, and really enjoyed it. "
— Rebekah, 4/29/2011" I was not disapointed with the sequel. I was a little confused at the tension and strane that was batrayed in Darrow and Calwyin's relationship. I felt like I missed something between the first book and this one and maybe I did. There is a tackful kiss in this story. "
— Jill, 4/18/2011" Not as good as the first, it didn't hold that much excitement for me. "
— Ilsa, 4/5/2011" It's a good story of magic and finding a way to save people. I liked the books a lot "
— April, 4/2/2011" It was just as good as the first and the did a good job of continuing the story without ruining the series "
— Grace, 3/21/2011" This is a great series! "
— Carol, 10/18/2010" The suspense is killing me. Sometimes I really don't like book 2s in trilogies. The first is good by itself, but you can't finish the second without immediately needing the last one to finish of the plot. "
— Jennifer, 10/12/2010" i couldnt really understand the story though.... "
— ayume, 10/10/2010" Confusing in the beginning but got better towards the middle. "
— Melia, 7/26/2010" Couldn't put it down! I hope this writer has a LONG and successful life as a writer. "
— Mary, 7/17/2010" 3.5 stars. A good sequel, although it would be nice to have a new villain instead of resurrecting the villain from the first book. "
— Tara, 7/10/2010" I really enjoyed this book, too! It's nice to read books with an original story line that isn't 100% predictable... "
