I'm going to preface this by saying I loved Crown of Coral and Pearl when I read it last year. I loved the sea vibes, the twin-sisterly love, the magic, and the tense plot. Unfortunately, Kingdom of Sea and Stone was a disappointment for me. The plot was quite boring and slow, I got annoyed with Nor and Talin's relationship, and the ending felt lackluster. I wonder if I would've liked it better if I'd reread Crown of Coral and Pearl before reading the sequel. I just didn't enjoy reading it, and at no point did it live up to my (low) expectations. On a positive note though, I do love the cover.
