The Devil's Tide is a fantastic follow-up to The Devil's Fire.  In fact, I liked it better than the first book in the series, maybe because I knew what to expect.  No one is given quarter in this swashbuckling pirate tale. Your most-loved characters and your most-loathed characters are equally likely to become the most-dead characters.  While still following the stories of those who managed to survive The Devil's Fire, some great new characters are introduced in book two.  I really enjoyed the resourcefulness of Jaq Calloway and the banter of Charles Vane. While the action is just as gory and the outlook sometimes just as bleak as book one, this book also stepped it up a notch in regards to the pirates' wit.  Filled with fast and furious action, you never knew from one chapter to the next who was going to to betray whom and where alliances would fall.  The plot twists and turns and shifts in allegiance continue to the very last page.  I'm looking forward to the next installment to tie up some questions and loose ends that were introduced in this book's waning pages.
