City of Thirst by Carrie RyanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This series is great, but I feel really bad for Fin at this point. It’s a good thing the babysitter is there and remembers Marrill plus one. I keep hoping something will happen so he will no longer have the problem, but that hasn’t happened yet. He’s getting closer though, and I am rooting for him. He seemed to be the main focus of this book. Yes, there was a lot of other stuff going on, but there were so many clues about Fin’s life that I could really feel how deeply he wants answers.
The City of Thirst and the burning desert were great new locations and the addition of things like the wishing machine powered by the Pirate Stream and Merrill’s new accidental pet gave the characters more depth and helped to round out their personalities.
I’m hoping some of my questions are answered in the next book. There were so many hints at what could be happening, and Fin’s past, that I really want answers to.
