A Chapter A Day: Day 3 "Sea of Souls" by Casey Eanes and Seth Ervin

                            A Chapter A Day: Day 3

Reviewing book two in the Keys of Candor series, Sea of Souls, by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! I hope that you have had a wonderful day and that you have been wondering about todays chapter as much as I have! I seriously got so distracted thinking up fan theories that I totally forgot about working on my Attack on Titan harness... Oops :/
Oh well, there is still plenty time left in the day! (typed at 9:25 PM)

Lets get reading!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~20 minutes-3 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay so first things first, Seam and all of them are on a Frigate. That is a type of ship (Obviously) so if you are a gamer or book nerd then you probably thought the first thing I did, which is this glorious Frigate to the right. ----->


However, considering the fact that this book has already shown us complex machinery, advanced medical treatment options and they have discovered the fine art of diving I am willing to stand out on a limb and say that they are referring to this kind of Frigate which is a lot more intimidating.



I could definitely see Seam having at least two of these babies tucked away somewhere.  (Yes, I know that the picture is off center but the "large" version was half the size of this and hard to see the details on.) I don't know if this is something that the authors or other readers have discussed or pointed out before but as always, I thought it was worth mentioning and at least you learned something new.

Bronson. We saw a lot of character development for him in this chapter..... Gah that was actually very stressful to read. He made such a brave and honorable decision to try but it was all in vain. Now he has a fate worse than death by Seam. Now he is stuck with Loyalty to Serubs. I just.. Man I feel bad for him. From a fan standpoint I want to save this sweet "cinnamon roll" character from this book that has a lot of warfare and transplant him into a book about... I don't know, cooking? Romance? Something where he can't die.
However, from a critics point of view I think that this chapter was a wonderful move towards what the ultimate goal is. Obviously with an unstable person like Seam in control something just wont work so I think that something will happen to Seam and the Serubs will be in charge, at least that is the "Worst case scenario."
So that leads me to believe that the Serubs now have 2 "faithful" pawns, Bronson and Hosp. Who would be better to kill Seam than Bronson? Seam thinks that he has Bronsons utmost loyalty which would make the double-cross all the sweeter. 

Lets touch base a little more on the contradictory loyalty between Bronson and Seam. Seam was so threatening when trying to get him in the water but at the same time he was willing to kill the four divers if they failed to retrieve him. Is that the definition of a love/hate relationship?
This is the actual definition:

A love–hate relationship is an interpersonal relationship involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and hate—something particularly common when emotions are intense. The term is used frequently in psychology, popular writing, and journalism.
That sounds about right. Loyal when it suits him, or kill him when it suits him. Either way it just goes to further prove why Seam shouldn't be in charge of a country at this point in his life.  

So speaking of Bronson Donahue. We learned his full name... That is classic "This character is important and will suffer a terrible fate.". *Cough* Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore *Cough*
I do like that the authors are letting us get more attached, then again this is why my generation has attachment issues...

New Serub = New name.  Introducing the black haired beauty with angel blue eyes, Nyx!
Heck yeah! I have always adored that name. I actually have a story that I am currently writing with a cat whose name is Nyx (I think with that spelling...) and I have also named multiple things from my childhood Nyx so I am going to be unfairly attached to her.
She is going to be a tricky one. The way she hooked Bronson and didn't rat him out plus the way that she instantly brown nosed Seam leads me to believe that she is a very devious creature.
I look forward to seeing how these new developments alter the course of the book! I hope that there are new surprises for us in tomorrows chapter and with that I wish you all a good night. ^_^
