In this review, there are spoiler for the end of Storm Glass, so I'm putting it under a cut.

I was QUITE pleased with Opal's decision at the end of this. Satisfyingly surprising! Here's my review: http://calico-reaction.livejournal.com/119229.html

---SPOILER WARNING---
Opal's decision at the end really surprised me, just because it's not something I see done in fantasy book. Typically a character will gain power throughout the series, going from mediocre, to super awesome. To have a character completely sacrifice those abilities in book two typically isn't done, and really showed that despite any bitterness Opal showed throughout the book, she's still a really good person. I'm really curious to see what this magical immunity means for Spy Glass.
---END SPOILERS---

Nice review by the way :)

Thanks!

I think SEA GLASS is one of my favorite Snyder novels, just for the ending alone. I was SO IMPRESSED that Opal made that sacrifice! I can't wait for the next book!

Me neither. I'm glad it's coming out in 2010, not 2011 as the book made it appear.
