An enjoyable exciting adventure in a magical world where everyone has a different special ability.
I enjoyed Tidemagic. The story is about Ista who has lost her father and is searching for him and other people who have gone missing. In this world there is lots of magic and everyone has a different magical ability but the magic gets weaker and stronger with the tide. It is an exciting adventure with lots of unexpected twists. I enjoyed the book more once Ista was working with Nat and Ruby and they made a good team. The end of the book made me want to keep reading to find out what happened, and I now want to read more about Ista’s next adventures!... Read Full Review
