A DARK ARMY RISES, A NEW SHIP SAILS THE SEAS, AND OLD ONES, LONG SILENT, ARE SUMMONED FORTH TO LEAD. Whereas only a few months earlier he would not have believed any of it, Salem Swan now finds himself faced with sinister enemies and, equally surreal, surrounded by close friends. He has gained powers as a mythlinguist, and with it a responsibility to reunite the world of humans with the world of myth, known as the Fringe. With his uncle Ulysses and Captain Fern taken prisoner by a growing Regulat force, it's up to Salem and the crew to seek help in old allies. This takes them to the heart of the Amazonian rainforest, where a city concealed in waterfalls tests the measure of their resolve. Meanwhile Regulat forces conspire to eliminate fringers of the World Beneath and bear down on a sacred space with a terrible force that knows no mercy. The world is changing faster than anyone realizes, and salvaging its best parts now rests in the hands of three teenagers and a mythical crew who cannot stand to see it lost.

Raging Waters is well written, and it grabbed my interest from the first page. However, there is an extremely large cast of characters; twelve characters were introduced in the first five pages, and my list soon reached over 50 named entities. The characters range from human to mythological, drawing from cultures around the globe. The story is told in third person limited, although the protagonist changes to follow the events of several different groups. There is detailed world building, with three distinct societies: the Commons (the world we know), the Fringe (home to mythological creatures), and the Descended Lands (a middle ground between the two). The Fringe itself contains many distinct cities; Encante is a hidden city populated by dolphin-people, and according to Salem, it is very different from the Fringe city visited in the first book. There are also several revelations, although they may be less surprising to readers who have already read Hidden Meridians.
