The tides of the Faerie War are turning, but at how high a cost for the Kasric family?
Justice Kasric, her siblings, and her parents are locked in combat on both sides of the Human-Faerie War. At fifteen, Justice may be the youngest ever Admiral to command her own ship and lead a resistance, but she has the magic and the will to do it. If only nearly every other member of her family weren’t either in immediate danger of dying—or attempting to kill her!
Forced to make dangerous pacts with more than one unpredictable ally, only Justice can decide how far she’ll go to save London. Is it worth sacrificing even a member of her own family.
Justice at Sea Continues the Clean Fantasy Series. This book picks up the fairy war story from Shadows Over London and takes readers on new adventures, all while keeping the novel clean and teen-friendly. There is some re-capping of the first book--but not enough that readers should skip that first book. Like any series--especially a fantasy one with so much attention to character growth and world-building--plan to read the series in order from the beginning.
Justice at Sea is a Nice Bridge in the Middle of the Series. I struggled to settle into the first book--but fell directly into the story development and action with this novel. There is still some world-building and new characters to meet--but the action is more fast-paced and a little less predictable than in the first book.
Would I Recommend Justice at Sea by Christian Klaver? I enjoy Justice as a character and know that this series would have entertained my teen daughters. This book does an excellent job of furthering the twists and turns to lead readers into the next book. The storyline is a little dark--but clean and written with older teens' interests in mind. I think I liked this book better than the first because I was familiar with the fantasy world, and I was ready to follow the series' heroine toward some resolutions to those early loose ends. The story unveils some secrets--but there are still loose ends for the next novel.

The Black Shuck’s forces gather just beyond the mist . . .
Captain Justice Kasric knows how complicated family can be. The escalating Human-Faerie war has scattered and wounded her siblings and transformed her parents beyond recognition. After narrowly escaping yet another dangerous clash, fifteen-year-old Justice has had enough. She’s determined to defeat the Black Shuck, the mysterious leader controlling the Faerie invasion of London, but if Justice hopes to stand a chance at victory, she’ll have to do the impossible: reunite her family and lead them against the looming Faerie Armada.
With her mother and brother at the helm of the enemy fleet, and the prophesized Seven Virtues slipping out of reach, Justice more than has her work cut out for her. Even if she can save England, the cost may be higher than she’s willing to pay.

The Faerie have come to take London, and only one girl stands in their way.
Justice isn’t your average fifteen-year-old girl. She’s an irrepressible scoundrel, and she always has a plan. But her world falls apart when her father forcibly bundles the entire family into carriages in the middle of the night and carts them off to a strange mansion on the outskirts of Victorian London. The Faerie are invading, but the Kasric siblings can’t stay neutral in the ensuing war when they find their parents on opposing sides. Justice has no choice but to embrace her burgeoning magical powers to fight against the Faerie and save her family.
