Emerald Sea continues the Council Wars series that started with There Will be Dragons. While the first book focused on the Fall and the building of society, this one focuses more on the making of alliances and some of the oddities still in the world, namely the Mer. The Mer are merfolf, some natural from when they were first created centuries ago and some who are Changed trapped in that form since the fall.In this book we see the emergence of dragon carriers along with a fledgling navy. Dragon carriers are boats that carry dragons. It seems simple enough, but if you picture the large semi clumsy beasts of old trying to land on a bobbing ship it gets interesting fast. Also seasick dragons...
This series is just starting to ramp up. All of the signs of an upcoming large conflict are clearly evident. Stay tuned here as I will likely be blogging about it next month.
P.S. At the end of Emerald Sea there is a short novella called Megan's Tale. It likely takes place after Emerald Sea and gives insights to various characters. As Ringo points out in a warning before it, it is very much so for adults only.
