In this sequel to Flora Segunda, the heroine is determined to learn Gramatica so that she can expand her ability to do magick. She is side-tracked by a sea-monster who is destroying the city, her best friend who has been possessed by a pair of magic boots, her sister who has gone AWOL, and her newly sober father who has become a stern taskmaster. Flora is spunky with a self-deprecating wit and the world she lives in challenges stereotypical gender roles. The action is fast-paced, though occasionally a little confusing. Also confusing, at times, is the fantastical vocabulary. This story will be enjoyed most by those who have read the first book.
