Fionn Boyle, Arranmore island's storm keeper is back. It has been six months since Fionn rescued his sister, Tara from the sea cove and became the next storm keeper. All the islanders, descendants and non-descendants alike are expecting Fionn to save the day when it comes to it but Fionn magical he may be, isn't able to access his magic. Even Tara has been learning to wield the candle magic and getting good at it and she throws that in Fionn's face every chance she gets it.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series so far! Holy smokes. The first book made me teary, and so did this one. Doyle can really just yank on my heartstrings every single time, it seems.
I liked the progression of the overall story and that there are many more people involved now than were really involved in the first installment. Fionn has grown some but not an unbelievable amount. He has a fair amount of internal growth, realizing that some problems are bigger than he can handle. I really enjoyed ...more

"The Lost Tide Warriors" was an enchanting and heartbreaking sequel that made me even more emotional than "The Storm Keeper's Island".
Although there were times that I found Fionn frustrating, I would say that the character development and family dynamics were written better in this installment. Tara and Fionn's mom Evie was a wonderful addition to this series. She's stronger than I gave her credit for and I wish that we have more cool moms like her, especially in middle grade/young adult fictio ...more

A love letter to Irish folklore, filled with a deeply entrenched magical history that stretches beyond the pages of the book. The characters are so vividly real that I feel like I've known them forever.

“Because gratitude for what we have been gifted is the antidote to the grief we feel when we must give it back.”
i really liked it. it was the sequel to the storm keepers island. Fionn Boyle has been the storm keeper of Arranmore for less that half a year when thousands of terrifing soulstalkers arrive on the island.its up to Fionn to save the island from what its about to face but Fionn has to discover how to use his own magic before he can save the island.
I'm very grateful to Bloomsbury for granting me early access to this book. Deeply moving in parts, with fast-paced action throughout, lots of genuine chills, the same wondrous sense of place and magic as its predecessor, and some hilarious bits, The Lost Tide Warriors is a skilfully written and engaging story. I'm very much looking forward to Book 3!

This is a continuation of the first book and wow was it amazing but also heartbreaking.
Fionn's adventures with his friends, family and fellow islanders continue in this sequel and the stakes are even higher as Fionn tries to figure out why his magic doesn't want to cooperate, how to keep his loved ones safe and wondering if he's really cut out to be a Storm Keeper.

As good as the first, had me in tears!
A fabulous read with a great cast of characters, a gripping and entertaining plot and an amazing world building.
Strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Absolutely fantastic sequel that builds on all the strengths of the first and adding its own. The emotional heart of the story is between grandfather and grandson and it made me cry in the best way - twice. Brilliant action, a realistic and well paced escalation that brings the series to another level!
The second in the series sees Fionn, along with friends and enemies old and new, battling against Soulseekers determined to revive Morrigan.
First of all, this isn't the book to start with. Although things are explained reasonably well as you go along, you'll still likely be confused for quite a portion of it.
However, if you've read the first one, this is a fantastic follow up, expanding the mythology and keeping the same wonderful tone. I cried - quite a bit - and read as fast as I can. I still ...more

Honestly, not quite as good as book number one, in my opinion, but still a riveting read; one that I could not put down. A compelling storyline and all of our favourite characters. I can't wait to see what the next book will bring!

I devoured this in a couple of hours. Loved it!
I enjoyed this a lot. The pain of growing up and loss is palpable.
loved it!
Has the same feeling as Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising books. Can’t wait for book 3.
A brilliant follow-up to the Storm Keeper's Island. A pacey, exciting read; I can't wait for the third book!

Huge thanks to Bloomsbury and NetGalley for this awesome read.
Our favorite characters are back and here to save the Arranmore Island. Here we see Fionn battles with the responsibility of becoming the new Storm Keeper and his responsibility to the island. His grandfather is losing his memory which is Fionn's only source of guidance. Now he must summon ancient powers to save Arranmore from destruction.

This is book 2 in the Storm Keeper series and I have been looking forward to it. This is a fantasy book about magic on an island. It was a very exciting read, which I couldn't put down (I read it in 2 nights).
Catherine Doyle has a great way of writing and the conversations and rivalry between the children are very convincing and realistic.
Now I can't wait for book 3 !

As good as the first book the storm keepers island. Now to patiently wait for the third installment.
This is a great follow-up to The Storm Keeper's Island – and it is a follow-up, you really need to read that first, there's no refresher to bring a new reader up to speed. For me, Doyle has an incredible gift with writing, the characters and locations come to life like those of few other writers. As with the first book, the magic here is different from any I've encountered elsewhere, and very interesting how the new talisman here plays out. There clearly will be another book in this series, whic

Hmm not as good as the first one. Somehow I didn’t enjoy it as much. I think it’s because the characters didn’t get to catch a break and reflect the things that are happening. Also it was quite dark.
I’m a bit disappointed.

We read the first book, Storm Keeper's Island, and loved it. This is a great continuation of Fionn's adventures as the Arranmore Island Stormkeeper.
His grandpa, the former Stormkeeper, is fading fast. Boatloads of the evil Morrigan's zombie-like followers, called Soulstalkers, start arriving on the ferries and piling up, preparing for Morrigan's rise.
And Fionn's Stormkeeper powers remain...elusive. Ok, they're not manifesting, at all. No matter what he does to spark them.

The Lost Tide Warriors is a superb middle grade fantasy; gorgeous language, an island seeped in ancient myths and sorcerers, and fascinating characters. As with the first one, the story is full of adventure, unique magic and ancient battle that is getting dangerously close. Now Fionn is trying to learn about his magic and the responsibilities of the Storm Keeper while Morrigan is stirring more every day.

Well done sequel. The fight against the evil sorceress's minions escalates and the book culminates with a battle between her and Fionn. Fionn also has some hard lessons to learn as he has to work with other people including his sister and Barclay. They must form a group to defeat evil and save the island.
Doyle has created a fantasy world that works. Her characters are relatable and the good vs. evil battle makes sense. There is a death at the end and the characters have to deal with their grief. ...more

This is the second book in a trilogy (first book is called The Storm Keepers Island). We really enjoyed the first book so I was looking forward to reading the second to my daughter. This is the story of Fionn Boyle who has been chosen to follow in his grandfather's footsteps as the Storm Keeper of Arranmore Island. In this book Fionn struggles with his new found magic as a huge threat hangs over the island. Can he and the islanders work together to defeat the dark forces threatening their island

Listened to the audiobook:
I listened to both this and the first book on audio and I'm so torn on how I feel. Did I enjoy them? Did I not? I don't know if I would prefer these physically or if audio was best for me. Maybe it's just not the kind of story I'm interested in. Overall, I only picked up this one as it was in an audible sale and I don't plan to continue on at this point. ...more
