All the Tides of Fate (All the Stars and Teeth #2)

I just finished the first book a day before this one released. I was excited and started on the book immediately after it appeared on my kindle. What I thought would be a quick read turned into a struggle. The story felt bloated with conflict that felt forced. It lagged and I disliked the filler.

Amora was the key issue in the story for me. While she was not always on the same page as me in the first book, she was strong willed and she would do anything for Visidia. In this book, she is weak and broken by grief. Grief can destroy the strongest of people, but throughout the story I just couldnt buy into this change in character. I couldnt buy into her frustrations and actions with Bastianit felt forced to create conflict for the plot. She learned so much and grew so much in the first book that it was sad to see the character so plot serving in this book.

I love the characters around Amora still. When the story drags these characters shine through to help get you through Amoras whining and faulted logic. I cared about her crew and the story was better for it.

I put this book down a lot due to my struggle to connect with Amora. But the last 12% of the book becomes what the rest of the book could have been. (Spoiler:) The reconciliation with Bastian felt flat since the conflict felt forced the entire way but everything else was great.

Summary: If you enjoyed the first book, this one is worth a read to finish the series. Be prepared for constant reminders of why Amora isnt acting in character so that the plot can go on. But the ending makes up for most of it. Happy Reading!

I finished this book at 2am because I couldnt stop reading. I needed a full day to really sit on this book before writing this review so I hope I did it justice.

This is the second (and final book) in the ATSAT duology. Going into this book Amora has just lost her father and been thrust head first into the position of Queen of Visidia with no magic and half her soul & magic in her boyfriend. Understandably this will mess up a girls emotions and head. I love that the author didnt stray away from this. She didnt give Amora a chapter to mourn and then quickly move on. The whole book has Amora dealing with the aftermath of this trauma in the form of panic attacks, sleepless nights and even dissociative episodes. I would put a trigger warning on this book for anyone dealing with severe PTSD as this might be difficult to read. Amora also struggles with her feelings towards Bastian as she fears that some of her intense feelings maybe due to the curse.

It was nice to spend some time on the other islands meeting new characters and learning about the struggles that each island is facing as a result to the changes to learning multiple magic. It was also interesting to see Amora try to be charming and enduring to her people when this is absolutely not her personality at all. We also got to spend more time with the whole Keel Haul crew and added two new faces to the crew- Shanty & Casem, who only added to the great banter of this team.

For those Amora & Bastian shippers there is also a very steamy scene for you.

Im not going to spoil anything but the end of the book broke my heart and then partially band-aided it back together. Please prepare your tissues and your emotional support reading friends to scream to about this once you finish. The emotional pain doesnt ruin this book by any means but it helps to be prepared.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend this duology for anyone looking for a magical escape this year!

Having recently read All the Stars and Teeth, I was SO excited to dive back into this world. All the Tides of Fate certainly did not disappoint! Its so hard to put into words how Im feeling after this one. Definitely feeling all the feels.

The story starts off a couple of months after the events that took place in the first book. You quickly become acclimated. Amora has taken her rightful place as queen of Visidia through much blood and sacrifice. The islands in the kingdom are in a state of turmoil and with people beginning to question Amora, and her authority, she doesnt want to show anyone her weaknesses. She cant let anyone know about the curse, her loss of magic, and the boy who holds a part of her soul.

To save herself and Visidia, Amora sets out on a quest to find a mythical artifact that could fix all their problems. She finds that it comes at a terrible cost. She tries to find a balance between everything, and learns that the power to rule could absolutely destroy her.

I really loved Amora, although I wanted to throttle her at times because of some of the decisions she made. I found myself going Why?! a few times. Amora did face a lot of tough decisions though, and she is stubborn and very strong-willed, and felt as though because of her position, she was the one that had to get things done. I loved how Adalyn wrote this character. She just seems very real and authentic. I am happy that the story didnt just gloss over Amoras grief and anxiety either, and it was handled well.

I truly enjoyed the whole cast of characters in this duology. Im so glad I got to spend more time with Amoras crew. They were a lot of fun, and they gave me a lot of laughter as well as tears.

A delightful world that I am sad to say goodbye to. A painfully beautiful story, make sure you have some tissues handy.

Leider sehr enttuschend. Mir hat das erste Buch gut gefallen, aber der zweite Teil kann nicht mithalten. Der Aufbau der Welt und die Nebencharakter haben mir gut gefallen, aber die Hauptcharakterin war einfach nur nervig. Auf Grund der Perspektive des Erzhlers aus der ersten Person wird man sie leider auch nicht los oder kann sie ausblenden. Der Schreibstil wirkt wie Fanfiction und im Plot gibt es einige Lcher. Viel Potential, aber leider nicht ausgeschpft und genug ausgearbeitet. Das Tempo des Buchs war zu Anfang angemessen, aber zum Ende hin fragt man sich einfach nur was das alles sollte und die Autorin rast durch das geschehen. Es fhlte sich an als wollte sie einfach irgendwie fertig werden wodurch die letzten 100 Seiten einfach nur sehr enttuschen.

Achtung, minimale Spoiler der groben Handlung:

Die Entwicklung des Hauptcharakters aus dem ersten Teil gehen verloren und stagniert in kindlicher Selbstbemitleidung. Teilweise machte auch der Plot keinen Sinn und viele Nebenhandlungen wirken erzwungen, aber nicht authentisch (z.B. in wiefern LGTBQ Charaktere einbezogen werden). Es fehlen die klaren Charakterstrukturen und so ist die Hauptcharakterin sich selbst ihr grter Feind und steht allem und jedem im Weg aber ein klares Ziel oder eine Bedrohung die verhindert werden soll gibt es doch irgendwie nicht. Unglaublich schade, denn es hatte viel Potential.

All the tides of fate is the sequel to All the Stars and teeth by Adalyn Grace and the last book in this duology (with how the book ends I guess it’s a duology).

Amara conquered the throne of Visidia through her blood and sacrifice. But not the love of her people. Now, she have lost her power due to a curse that link half her soul to Bastian. And no one can now the truth. To save herself and all of Visidia she embark on a new journey to break the curse. With Ferrick, Bastian and Vataea back on the Keel Haul. To new person accompany them, Shanty and Casem. They need to find a mysterious and mythical artifact that could solve her problem, but at a terrible cost.

I have really love this serie.
