Thoughts: This is the second book in The Rising Tide Series. I did not like the first one, Rising Tide, very much, but this one was much better. It had flow and more action. It also had some cool creatures. It definitely is a unique story and I liked how it was tied to the bible. I enjoyed looking for the connections and I'm sure I missed some of them.
Unfortunately, the dialogue is dry and the characters aren't very interesting. Although the characters don't walk around, bathe, and eat as much as in Rising Tide, I really wanted to edit out some of the parts when they were eating.
This book is really not a stand alone and Rising Tide should be read first.
Tea: Superfood Splash
Obtained: purchased
Today I tried Superfood Splash iced tea. This is an herbal infusion with low caffeine. The ingredients were pineapple (pineapple, sugar cane, citric acid, sulfur dioxide), cinnamon, hibiscus, coffee leaf, coconut, mango, banana, stevia extract, and natural flavouring. I had a pre-measured packet which I put into my tea pot. The tea was made up of chunks of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The scent was of sweet fruit and cinnamon. I poured ten ounces of near boiling water over the leaves and let this steep for four minutes. I then poured the beautiful red liquid over ice. It had a fruity, cinnamon scent. The taste was of fruit (with pineapple as the standout), coconut and cinnamon in the background. This was a sweet iced tea, which I usually don't like. However, the cinnamon mixed with the tropical fruit won me over and I found this refreshing. I would drink this as a substitute for punch.
If you like tropical tasting sweet iced tea and cinnamon- try this!
