About the Book
Sea Witch Rising by Sarah Henning
Series: Sea Witch #2
Published by Katherine Tegen Books on August 6, 2019
Genres: Historical Fantasy, Fairytale Retelling, Young Adult
Pages: 416
Format: Hardcover
Runa will not let her twin sister die. Alia traded her voice to the Sea Witch for a shot at happiness with a prince who doesn’t love her. And his rejection will literally kill her—unless Runa intervenes.
Under the sea, Evie craves her own freedom—but liberation from her role as Sea Witch will require an exchange she may not be willing to make. With their hearts’ desires at odds, what will Runa and Evie be willing to sacrifice to save their worlds?
Told from alternating perspectives, this epic fairy tale retelling is a romantic and heart-wrenching story about the complications of sisterhood, the uncompromising nature of magic, and the cost of redemption.

Dani @ Perspective of a Writer says
I didn’t love the first book and I didn’t see the ARC for this enough to pursue it. I think I just wasn’t a fan of the way this author does retellings.
Crystal says
I agree that the author’s way of retelling the story is different from most fantasy retellings I tend to see around. It feels more in the vein of Jane Yolen with the historical setting.
Natalie Aguirre says
This sounds great. I saw book 1 around but haven’t read it yet. I’ll have to start with that one.
Crystal says
I really enjoyed the Sea Witch books. I hope you do too, Natalie!
Lindsi says
I’ve seen the first book around, but never picked it up! Retellings/reshapings are always hit or miss for me, but I have heard good things about this one. It sounds like something I’d enjoy!
