*
Meela has just returned from the Massacre—the annual attempt to wipe out the mermaids threatening her people’s survival. After forming an unlikely connection with Lysi, a mermaid she was trained to kill, Meela is determined to stop the war between humans and merpeople for good. She knows of a legendary weapon that could bring peace if she uses it against King Adaro, ruler of the Pacific Ocean. But her people have plans for future Massacres and refuse to help her uncover it.
While Meela works in secret to unearth the Host of Eriana, Lysi is held captive under Adaro’s tyranny. Sent to the battlefront, Lysi joins forces with a band of rebels that could either bring her freedom—or have her executed for treason.
Separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, Meela and Lysi must find a way to defeat King Adaro and end the war that has been keeping them apart.

Ice Crypt Mermaids of Eriana Kwai Book 2 eBook Tiana Warner
I really enjoyed this sequel because it kept the best points of the first book while strengthening other areas. Since the two main protagonists are kept apart by circumstance for the majority of the novel, it makes sense it was written from both perspectives to advance both characters and their development. In the first book the protagonist was isolated emotionally and in constant mortal danger, so it was rewarding to see her bond with minor characters and have their roles in the story expanded. It was interesting to see the straightforward violent narrative of the first novel turned around for mystery and exploration in the second, and both story-paths worked for me. There were several twists at the end, a couple completely surprised me, others I saw coming, and I noticed some clever misdirection, but I was pleased with all of them. It was a long road to the payoff at the very end, but it was worth it, and sets up for an even better series finale.I am totally hyped for a third book where the two leads are working together for most of the story, the stakes are bigger than ever, and the plot is completely open for anything to happen.

Ice Crypt Mermaids of Eriana Kwai Book 2 eBook Tiana Warner Reviews
The first Mermaids of Eriana Kwai book was a complete shocker for me a shining star I found in an otherwise humdrum collection of novels I bought on kindle. Tiana Warner's take on a world of wars between mermaids and humans took hold of my attention and refused to let go.
Fast forward to Ice Crypt, and it's safe to say that Ice Massacre wasn't just a happy fluke.
Delving even deeper into the world of the island of Eriana Kwai and the mysterious depths of the mermaid-filled Atlantic Ocean, Ice Crypt ramps up the stakes for star-crossed lovers Metlaa Gaela (or Meela to her friends) and Lysithea the mermaid. While the Massacre is over and done for Meela and her friends, violence is still simmering just above the surface as she fights to find a way to stop the bloody tradition and save her dear Lysi from the clutches of the mad merman king Adaro.
Ice Crypt has plenty of twists and turns that will throw fans of the first novel for a loop, and once it gets going you'll find it hard to stop until you hit the last page.
Tiana Warner made me a believer in mermaids. I bet she can make one of you too.
It was entertaining and I care about the characters and story enough to want to know the ending. I have a few handfuls though I wish were explored or just better in general. I wanted more magic and mystery to everything. Mermaids are mystical creatures, but everything is so here and now and matter of fact that I wasn’t as taken by the story the second time around.
I wanted a special connection between Lysi and Meela - something to the effect of, when Meela touches the water Lysi no matter where she is in the ocean gets a sense of her. There wasn’t much of anything like that in the story that brought the audience back to their love story besides them thinking of one another. (That’s all and well, I just wanted to feel the romance of it.)
Spoiler? There were parts that reminded me of Harry Potter, but not in a good way.
Even with those few critics, I still liked the book. I just wanted more magic and feeling to a heavy action, multi character plot driven young adult book...
Have you ever read a book or watched a movie or played a video game and thought to yourself, 'I could stay in this world forever?' Upon finishing Ice Massacre by Tiana Warner, that is exactly how I felt with the world she had created. The story was gripping, the characters felt real, and despite being a male and probably one to be lured to my death by the mermaids, I wanted to be on that ship with those girls battling those sea demons for Eriana Kwai! Ice Crypt takes all the pros from Ice Massacre and tells an even more amazing story, this time with not only Meela’s point-of-view, but with Lysi’s as well.
Ice Crypt is a return to Tiana Warner’s wonderfully crafted world. It’s been two weeks since the Massacre from the first book and Meela has been ordered by King Adaro, the king of the merpeople, to find the Host of Eriana and in return he will give her Lysi. Unfortunately, Meela doesn’t know where or what this host even is. With the help of a few of her friends, Meela becomes wrapped up in a detective story wherein she must uncover clues as to the location of the Host of Eriana. It’s thrilling and gripping and with each passing chapter you find yourself wanting to know more about Meela, her people, her island, and all of the history that comes with it.
Along with Meela’s story, now we get a look into Lysi’s life and what it’s like to be a mermaid. For as excited as I was to return to this world--to return to Meela--Lysi’s point-of-view and her story was what intrigued me most. Lysi’s story starts where it ended in Ice Massacre. King Adaro has her locked away as per his agreement with Meela to find the Host of Eriana. However, Lysi is feisty, fierce, and determined and no one is going to hold her from getting back to Meela, or so she thinks. Being the king of the merpeople, King Adaro has many loyal subjects all throughout the Pacific, but when Lysi is taken to the South Pacific army, she runs into an old friend, Spio, and discovers a treacherous plot that if gone wrong could get her killed.
Reading Lysi’s chapters and seeing Warner’s exquisite attention to detail and the care she put into making her mermaid come to life had me thinking more than just once that perhaps if mermaids truly are real, then maybe Tiana Warner is in fact one of them. Everything about Lysi made sense to me the way she moved in the water, the way she interacted with other merpeople and other sea creatures, her struggles and her emotions, it just all felt natural which is a testament to Warner’s incredible expertise at writing.
The supporting characters are also a treat! It's nice to have Annith back along with Blacktail and Tanuu and while I wasn't expecting to like Tanuu all that much, he grew on me. Some new supporting characters include Spio, Coho, Nobeard, Pontus, and Junior--all friends of Lysi. They add more humor to the story which I'll be getting to momentarily, but more importantly they all feel real. The camaraderie between Meela, Annith, Blacktail, and Tanuu and Lysi, Spio, Coho, Nobeard, Pontus, and Junior is a real treat and adds more scope to the overall story.
Something Warner adds to Ice Crypt that I felt I missed from Ice Massacre is the humor. This story isn’t a comedy by any means, but when you have a story as dark and as atmospheric as Ice Massacre it’s nice to balance it with a bit of humor every once in a while and Ice Crypt does just that! There are several lines all throughout the book that had me laughing at just right times, especially a little scene involving Tanuu, Meela, and getting Meela out of her pants. Warner knows how to use her characters to tap into your emotions and she knows when to make you smile, laugh, when to feel upset, when to feel anger, and she does it spectacularly.
Ice Crypt will reel you in from the start of chapter one and have you enjoying every moment until the end. Warner does a beautiful job of continuing her story with the characters you loved from the first book while also adding in new characters to have you fall in love with as well. With action, adventure, romance, some humor, and a few twists along the way, Ice Crypt has me excited and looking forward to the third book in the Mermaids of Eriana Kwai series.
The strongest of recommends!
Para la reina!
