Review: Kingdom of Waves

Kingdom of Waves by Melissa de la Cruz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ophir are living a life of drudgery as second-class citizens.  They used to live a wonderful life, but the Lacon had conquered them, and their kingdom was lost to the waves.  Now, there are two sets of thieves that want the same treasure, but in their attempt … everything goes sideways.  Some of them get away with their lives and a relic with ancient magic.  They soon learn more about their ancestors and themselves. 

Kingdom of Waves is the first book in the series by the same name.  Eban and Gin must tackle many fears and try to understand the history that has been rewritten.  De la Cruz has created a new world that was fun to learn about, and I easily found myself in these characters, even though their world is nothing like mine.  Kingdom of Waves will be enjoyed by all young adult fantasy readers.
