Waterfall by Lauren Kate REVIEW


**Sequel to Teardrop**
Summary:

Tears are falling...
Eureka's tears have flooded the earth, and now Atlantis is rising, bringing with it its evil king, Atlas. Eureka is the only one who can stop him, but first she must learn how to fight. She travels across the ocean with Cat, her family, and the gorgeous and mysterious Ander. Ander promises to help her find Solon, an enigmatic lost Seedbearer who knows how to defeat Atlas.
Once on land, Eureka is taunted by gossip-witches, a group of displaced Atlantean sorceresses, and ambushed by locals struggling to survive amid the destruction her tears have wrought. And she feels no closer to facing Atlas when Solon lets slip that love is Ander's weakness, and that any affection he feels toward her makes him age faster.
Trying to make sense of the dark world her sorrow has created, Eureka receives startling insight from an enchanted pond. Her bewildering reflection reveals a soul-crushing secret: if she's strong enough, Eureka can defeat Atlas--unless her broken heart is just what he needs to fuel his rising kingdom...
In Waterfall, Eureka has the chance to save the world. But she'll have to give up everything--even love.

My Thoughts:

This book was really good for a sequel, and I found some of it better than the previous book.
There were a few things I wanted to know, though:
1. who are the gossip-witches, why do they exist, and why are they helping Eureka?
2. Is Atlas' possession of Brooks like how the monster in Siren's Fury possessed people?
3. Why did Solon isolate himself from everyone, other than to keep himself from loving again?
I wish these questions were answered in the book, but unfortunately, they aren't.
The end was kind of confusing. I mean, Eureka sacrificed herself to stop Atlas, but what happened to her and everyone else wasn't clear.

My Rating: 4.5 stars
(I hate the new covers though)
