Great world building. I am totally involved with the people and magical beings of this imaginary world. Just fantastic. A new favorite!
I didn't realize this was the second in a series when I bought it. No matter, it explains itself well. I really enjoyed it, especially in that the plot is sufficiently complex and only got more so as the book went on, and that all the characterization is sound and attractive. I will definitely be buying the rest of the trilogy and likely anything else the author comes up with. It is a clearly seen World, with no distressing over-similarities to any other fantasy realms I'm familiar with. The magic is neither cheesy nor impossible to understand. I don't see any real flaws in this book, and recommend it to lovers of Morgan Llywelyn, Andre Norton, Robin McKinley and Cecilia Dart-Thornton.
The first book, "Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea," was wonderful in the way is built complex characters in which no one person was completely evil or good. The inner workings of the personalities are beautifully woven into the plot development. However, it irked me how the book just stopped at the end!
Of course, I immediately began to read the second book, "The Sea Lark's Song." I felt you needed a scorecard to keep track of the nobelity past and present. It seemed to introduce too many new characters without much substance. Again, the book just stopped at the end without any real conclusion or how all the new characters fit together with the ever-convoluted plot.
However, interesting the setting and characters are, I feel like I'm being strung along and tend to lose interest in series that seems to continue indefinately. I would recommend you read this book only if you can patiently await the next (hopefully last book) in the series. I, personally, tend to enjoy books that can stand on their own and only need the previous or next book in the series as garnishment.
While the book is marketed as a stand-alone novel, it quickly becomes evident that Sea Lark is the sequel to an earlier volume Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea. If you have not read that one, you don't have much chance with this one, but you won't really want it. Much like with any recent Katherine Kurtz Deryni novel, Ms. Marcellas is so concerned with her world's politics as to bore a reader to tears. Admittedly, more actually happens than in the new Deryni novels, but it's not written as well. Either way, you don't care much. Not only is the politics thick and fast, the actual political hierarchy is not explained until most of the book is past. If you don't already know your Dukes, Counts, and Barons by heart, you'll have little chance of following the structure, especially with the vaguely defined High Lords thrown in for additional complication. The magic system is modestly interesting, as are the central characters, but it never really gets beyond that.

Finally, a note on the title. In case you should miss it, the sea lark is here used as a metaphor. On virtually every page. This world is suffering from a serious sea lark overpopulation problem, and soon there's going to be a crash. Don't wait around to see it.
Great book! Can't wait to read the next one.
Been enjoying this series as a lyrical escape from a stressful world.
The plot followed smoothly into the second book in the series. The surprises and turns in the plot kept me interested. I was interested in going on to the final book of the series.
