I enjoyed their adventures and I liked Vex’s crew. Lu and Vex travel across Grace Loray to look for answers about the missing delegate. There also wasn’t a lot of pirating going on, so if you’re expecting a typical pirate book about life on the high seas, this isn’t that book.

Lu and Ben weren’t exactly boring, but I didn’t really care about them either. Although I did notice he started out as a very witty and sarcastic Jack Sparrow-esque pirate, but this side of him soon took a backseat and he became a bit more dull. Lu and Vex meet each other early on in the book and decide to work together, while Ben has a separate storyline and won’t meet the others until the last few chapters. The story is split up between Grace Loray and Argrid. The botanical magic of Grace Loray is considered heresy by the Church, but Ben is fascinated by it.

And finally there’s Benat (Ben), the crown prince of rival nation Argrid. When the raiders are accused of the delegate’s abduction, he agrees to help Lu find out the truth. Devereux (Vex) is a stream raider who sells magical plants on the black market. When a delegate vanishes during peace talks, she suspects there is something dangerous going on. Adeluna (Lu) helped the island of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor and is now trying to adjust to life in the new regime, in which her parents have an important role. In These Rebel Waves, we follow three main characters.

Does the book deliver? Or does it capsize? We were promised pirates, adventure and botanical magic. Today I want to talk about These Rebel Waves, by Sara Raasch. Yarr! It’s Friday and that means it’s time for another review.
