This direct sequel to Elizabeth Bear’s highly acclaimed All the Windwracked Stars picks up the story some fifty years after Muire went into the sea and became the new Bearer of Burdens.
Beautiful Cathoair, now an immortal warrior angel, has been called back to the city of Eiledon to raise his son--Muire’s son as well, cast up on shore as an infant. It is seemingly a quiet life. But deadly danger approaches…the evil goddess Heythe, who engineered the death of Valdyrgard, has travelled forward in time on her rainbow steed. She came expecting to gloat over a dead world, the proof of her revenge, but instead she finds a Rekindled land, renewed by Muire’s sacrifice.
She will have her revenge by forcing this new Bearer of Burdens to violate her oaths and break her bounds and thus bring about the true and final end of Valdyrgard. She will do it by tormenting both Cathoair and his son Cathmar. But Mingan, the gray wolf, sees his old enemy Heythe’s return. He will not allow it to happen again.

From Publishers Weekly
Hugo winner Bear pairs an insubstantial plot with broken, guilt-ridden characters in this quiet sequel to 2008's All the Windwracked Stars. When the angel Muire sacrificed herself to become the new Bearer of Burdens, she renewed the entire world. But some of those Muire left behind saw her ascension as less joyful: the newly immortal Cathoair, who mourned her; their son, Cathmar, who would never know her; and the goddess Heythe, who had intended the world's demise. Even as Heythe orchestrates a self-destructive spiral for the self-pitying Cathoair, Cathmar begins a convincing transformation from precocious teen to self-sufficient adult. The stakes could be much higher and the villainess more menacing, but Bear's willingness to let her characters bleed gives this post-post-apocalyptic tale its melodramatic edge. This installment will best suit devoted fans who value tormented characters and graceful prose over complex plotting. (Feb.)

From Booklist
The third novel in Bear�s Edda of Burdens series starts about 50 years after the end of All the Windwracked Stars (2008), when Muire, the last Valkyrie, went into the sea and became the new Bearer of Burdens. Now her lover, Cathoair, must raise their son, cast up on the shore as an infant. But their ancient enemy, the goddess Heythe, is determined to destroy all that Muire and Cathoair fought for. She will start by tormenting Cathoair and his son, Cathmar, to force Muire to break her vows and bring about the final devastation. Bear�s variation on this classic theme is skillfully written, and the characters stand out, especially the wolf Mingan. Enough background is provided so that having read the first two isn�t necessary to follow this one. The pacing is a bit slow, however. The Sea Thy Mistress is satisfying but not great fantasy adventure. --Frieda Murray
Review
"A satisfying end to a most satisfying series.... Bear’s use of Norse myths is outstanding and her reimagining of them is simply top-notch."
--RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!)
Praise for All the Windwracked Stars:
"Bear creates a world with an astonishing depth of mythology in a tale that begins with Ragnarok…Bear’s world-building echoes the best of Zelazny and pulls the reader into the story and the history until it’s over. Muire is one of Bear’s more interesting and likable characters, and the mythology Bear deploys promises further satisfying stories based in it." —Booklist (starred review)
"Bear's ability to create breathtaking variations on ancient themes and make them new and brilliant is, perhaps, unparalleled in the genre. Her lyrical style and heroically flawed characters make this a priority purchase for most libraries. Highly recommended." —Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for By the Mountain Bound:
“Numerous fantasy authors adopt the tropes of Norse mythology, but Bear actively pursues them, channeling those myths directly rather than overlaying them on more familiar ones. The result demands much from readers, but repays it in vivid, sensual imagery of a wholly different world.” —Publishers Weekly

Compelling and just right.
By Rachel Barenblat
This third book in the Edda of Burdens trilogy is excellent. This book features the blend of postapocalyptic fantasy and Norse mythology, and the complex interrelationships, which I've come to expect from this series. "The Sea Thy Mistress" complicates the two previous books in the trilogy, and it also completes them, beautifully. There's no shortage of suffering in this one -- Bear doesn't pull punches! -- but there's just enough redemption to make the angst worthwhile, and the ending felt exactly right to me. Deeply satisfying. If you enjoy complicated relationships, revisited mythologies, and excellent storytelling, don't miss this one.

super fantasy
By Harriet Klausner
To save the world, Muire the Angel gave herself up by diving into the sea to become the Bearer of Burdens (see All the Windwracked Stars). However, not everyone she left behind rejoice with her ascension sacrifice. In Eiledon Cathoair the immortal warrior angel mourns his loss, which he sees everyday in their offspring Cathmar, who he raises as a single dad knowing the lad will never meet his mother.
Even more raging is Heythe the Goddess, who had set in motion the end of the world before Muire interceded, but riding into the future she is shocked to find a renewed world rather than a dead orb. Knowing what Muire sacrifice has cost her, Heythe takes out her anger and frustration on tormented Cathoair who wallows in pity. She encourages the relatively new immortal to walk a personal path of destruction to force Muire to break her Bearer of Burdens oath and cause the final demise of Valdyrgard. On the other hand her other toy is the son but he displays maturity as he becomes an adult. Meanwhile Mingan the wolf observes the return of the evil enemy and plans to prevent Heythe's second chance at ending the world.
This fantasy is fascinatingly more a character study as readers see deep into the souls of father and son and to a lesser degree other cast members. Elizabeth Bear enables her fans to feel Cathoair's torment; yet there is plenty of action as Heythe tries to force Muire to return to save her beloved mate and their son. Although Heythe is not quite as powerfully wicked as she was in All the Windwracked Stars, The Sea Thy Mistress is a super thriller as the audience wonders how the heroine of the first thriller will react to the latest threat.

Brings Norse mythology to life
By Greg
The Sea Thy Mistress is the third book of the The Edda of Burdens, which I believe, is a trilogy. It picks up after the ending of the first book, All the Windwracked Stars. (The events in book 2, By the Mountain Bound, are the actual beginning of the story.)
Fifty years after Muire has ascended to become the Bearer of Burdens -- a goddess that is one with the Wyrm that dwells in the ocean -- she gives birth to a son. The infant is found on the beach by the cyborg Aethelred, a priest of Muire who was once a bartender. At the time the child's father, Cahey -- Muire's former lover turned Einherjar -- is off wandering the previously apocalyptic world, performing his task of protecting and helping the new human settlements. So are the moreau, human-animal hybrids, which were released from bondage by Muire. Meanwhile, the only remaining original Einherjar, Mingan and the two-headed war-steed named Kasimir, prepare for the return of their ancient enemy, who has come back across the rainbow bridge. Heythe's plans to end the world were halted in All the Windwracked Stars, so she's come back to finish what she started. The child is her key to defeating Muire and the, now, too few Einherjar.
Ms. Bear's style, at least in this series, verges on the melodramatic. I'd go so far as to say it pushes the boundary between epic and romantic fantasy. There are a lot of broken hearts and a lot of pining over lost loves, which is something I'd usually steer well clear of. In fact, if someone had mentioned these elements to me, I'd never have picked up The Edda of Burdens. Am I ever glad no one did, because this is a very beautifully written book. Elizabeth Bear's prose and language almost begs to be read aloud. It reads so effortlessly that it's almost poetic.
The characters are very flawed, but are only more endearing for it. Those flaws are exemplified by the fact that they are now the Einherjar, which are warrior angels. I mentioned in my review of All the Windwracked Stars how interesting the concept of "angels of a dead god" is. In The Sea Thy Mistress this idea has changed somewhat. Now it's about reincarnated angels of a new god that guard over a reborn world and how they must deal with a devious enemy from a primeval past -- an enemy that's powerful enough to have destroyed worlds and defeated them all, rather easily, the first time around.
Still, those things are not what completely won me over. The Edda of Burdens is based on Norse mythology, but it's more like it is Norse mythology, or as if this is how those legends should be. It's like Bear has uncovered a lost Viking artifact and deciphered runes that contained previously unknown details about the beings that fight the battle of Raknarok and what comes after. She brings the mythos to life and projects it into an alternate future.
