If you love suppressed magical users, political upheaval and forged friendships, then tidespeaker is a must read to kick off 2026!
Sadie Turner crafts an atmospheric reads with elemental based magic, where a novice floodmouth ( water elemental) is assigned to her privileged patrons following the death of her best friend and her mentor.
On an island governed by a mercurial patriarch, subjected to rules and punishing failure, Corith, searches for her footing and news of her best friend. The elementals or Orga, are treated like cattle by the Hundred, or the ruling class and subjected to their whims, without any rights.
In the midst of it all, is a revolutionary faction seeking to spend the system and bring about progressive growth for the Orha. How Corith navigates this maze between loyalty, motlrality and the tenuous bonds of friendship forms the rest of the tale. I loved this moody tale, which functions well as a standalone with plenty of twists and subplot to keep the reader engaged! Best enjoyed on an overcast afternoon with a warm blanket and nibbles 📚🧋🪻
My thank yous to Random House Children's Press, Delacorte and Netgally for the arc! I am eagerly looking forward to the sequel!
