I don't dislike this book, but I also don't think it's on par with the other two books in the series. We see the introduction of Corwin and follow his perspective only. I think losing Nia's point of view really lowers the reader's interest in the events as they unfold. Overall, it's an okay book in an otherwise great series.

A great sequel to "Ascension". Corwin was an interesting character, and I liked his interaction with Nia and the princeling, but some of his inner thoughts I found oddly out of character.

Reunion by Kara Dalkey – Mermaid YA has to include someone to fall in love with! And these two are darling! Happy Reading!

Genre: fantasy
Summary: This story continues the journey of Nia who is trying to save her hometown of Atlantis from a power-hungry, mad mermyd and his companion Farworlder. This sequel, however, is told from the viewpoint of Corwin, an urchin who lives on land. He was collecting by the seashore when he came across the shell that held Nia's Farworlder. The shell is stolen by the evil King Vortigern so Nia and Corwin must work together to save the shell and try to defeat Ma'el, the destroyer of Atlantis (he also has plans to take over the rest of the world, covered in water or not)
Response: I liked this book as much as the first one. It was ok as far as series goes, but I just can't ignore the nagging sense of sadness. I don't have the third and final book of the series with me right now, which means I have to wait to see how everything ends. BOo. The series has been pretty subtle with the hints at the Arthurian legend, but the hints are getting more and more evident. I hope everything turns out well!

Right so I read the first book in this series some years ago and even though it's probably something I would have ADORED as an 11 year old, I still kinda enjoyed the writing as an adult??? It was just a really fun and quick read that was written in such a lush way. Unfortunately this second installment wasn't as lush as the first and it was even more trope-y and obviously directed at pre-teens... It was still fun though! I'm curious to see what will happen in the third and final book since that is when they return to the sea...

The first part of the book was hard to get into but once Corwin met up with Nia things got much more interesting. Overall, I liked how this book finished up and am excited to read the final installment! Especially since I remember how it all wraps up.
