Scoot’s Review:

I enjoyed this novel.  Sea Glass is the second book in a trilogy about Opal Cowan, the glass magician we first met in Maria V. Snyder's Study trilogy (Poison, Magic, Fire). I loved the Study trilogy and was excited to read more about the world Maria created.  Opal's own story is full of action, plot and intrigue.  Sea Glass is a continuation of the storyline from Storm Glass and we follow Opal as she attempts to hunt down Ulrick (trapped in Devlan's body) to switch their souls back to their proper places.  The book is generally well paced. The story would drag a little when going into the political portions, but in general it had enough action and/or romance to the reader interested.   The love triangle presented in the book is a little complex, especially when you remember that one of the potential interests used to torture Opal.  The plotline is filled with twists, and you never know who you can really trust.   The story was well written and I am looking forward to reading the third book in the trilogy.
