I won’t say what it is to try and avoid spoilers, but suffice it to say I bawled my eyes out. There’s a very tragic catalyst that starts Ally’s exploration into her past. The narrative then alternates between present and past as Ally eventually decides to explore her roots. I actually enjoyed reading the parts of the story that intersects from a different perspective. It is of course written from the perspective of a different character, and coloured by her thoughts and experiences. The Atlantis part doesn’t get too repetitive even though I started this directly after finishing book number one. Then she reunites with the rest of the sisters at Atlantis for the memorial, and gets her clues to her past. We first get introduced to Ally and get a snapshot of her life before she hears about the death of Pa Salt. The book follows the same formula as the first one. Through her journey to discover her roots she also gradually finds her way back to her passion for music. Her love of sailing was something she shared with and maybe inherited from Pa Salt, and they spent a lot of time out on the lake together when Ally was growing up. At some point she discarded her musical education in favour of sailing, and as our story begins she makes her living as a professional sailor competing in regattas. She has two passions in life: sailing and music. In The Storm Sister we get to follow the second oldest sister, Ally, or Alcyone.
For background on the series see my review of the first book.
