Barclay and his friends must save an island city from the Legendary Beast of the Sea in this exciting second book in the Wilderlore series, perfect for fans of Nevermoor and How to Train Your Dragon. Something is wrong at the Sea. The weeping tide, a carnivorous algae bloom, is eating up all the fish. Beasts are terrorizing the nearby Elsewheres. And Lochmordra, the Legendary Beast, is rising at random and swallowing ships whole. Barclay’s teacher, the famous Guardian Keeper Runa Rasgar, has been summoned to investigate, and as her apprentice, Barclay gets to join too. But Runa’s nemesis has also been called to the Sea, and he’s brought apprentices of his own. When the not-so friendly competition between them grows fierce, it’s Barclay—the only one from the Elsewheres—who can’t seem to keep up. The key to stopping Lochmordra lies in his mythical home, but as the flood of the weeping tide encroaches, time is running out to find it. If the rival groups can’t cast aside old grudges and learn to work together, soon the Sea will be destroyed completely. And all the while Barclay must ask himself: is there truly a place for him in the Wilderlands?

this is the second book in the wilderlore series.
barclay and his friends are tasked with saving an island city from the legendary beast of the sea. the key to stopping the beast is in his home, but the weeping tide makes the timeframe to find it smaller and smaller.
i can absolutely see this series becoming a comfort series for me. like the first book, there was so much action, which is, of course, always interesting. additionally, all the relationships in this book were so interesting. from friends to mentors, i appreciated how these were represented.
i can’t wait to dive into book three!
A very well done continuation of the story. I love the relationships between the kids and also the mentor/mentee relationships, and the world building is really interesting.
