Full Fathom Five is the third novel in the Craft Sequence, and the first one that I would suggest having read the previous novels first. It has a standalone story and all is explained as needed, but events and characters from the previous two novels come into play. The island of Kavekana, which had lost its gods and now marketed idols, felt like a living and changing place, and I was eager to unravel its secrets. The main characters, Kai and Izza, showed very different views of their society--from the privileged to the homeless. I appreciated Kai's determination and intelligence, and was drawn in by Izza's faith, pain, and internal struggle between self-preservation and caring for others. This was another excellent installment in the Craft Sequence, and I hope Gladstone writes many more!
