Reunion (Water Trilogy, Book 2) ReviewLife in Wales in the year 425 is hard, but for the sixteen years of his life, Corwin has managed to survive through hard work. He never knew his father, and barely remembers his mother. He was raised by Fenwyck, a traveling entertainer who on occasion turned to thievery. But now Fenwyck is dead, killed by the evil King Vortigern, and Corwin himself is a wanted man. Hiding in a cave by the shore, Corwin discovers a beautiful and unique shell. He hopes he can make a fortune selling it, but it is stolen from him by the King's men. Corwin then encounters Nia, a mysterious girl who says she is from the lost city of Atlantis. Nia is determined to get the shell back, because it is the key to her survival, and, as it turns out, Corwin's as well. Can Nia and Corwin outwit King Vortigern in time to save their own lives? I've been eager to read this book ever since I read the first in the Water trilogy, and I was not disappointed. Kara Dalkey is a wonderful author and I can't wait to read the final book in the series, Transformation.Reunion (Water Trilogy, Book 2) OverviewAfter evil King Vortigern's men steal the seashell Corwin found, he meets Nia, a mermyd from the lost city of Atlantis,who is also seeking to reclaim the shell, for it holds the key to the survival of them both.

Transformation (Water Trilogy, Book 3) ReviewNia, Corwin, and their Farworlder have finally completed their naming. But there is still trouble ahead. Ma'el, the evil mermyd tyrant, has taken over Atlantis and enslaved its people. Determined not to allow Ma'el to get away with his evil intentions, Nia and Corwin know that they must somehow travel back to Atlantis and free the city from Ma'el. Unfortunately, Corwin is human, and cannot breathe underwater. Yet, a secret about his past comes to light, and Corwin discovers that he is half human, half mermyd, with partially developed gills. Nia and the farworlder manage to help his gills develop, and the three of them return to Atlantis.
When they return to Atlantis, Nia discovers that her family has been either imprisoned in dry-rooms or killed. With the return of the new Avatars, the Atlanteans gain hope. They rebel against Ma'el, but he still manages to capture Nia, Corwin, and their farworlder. Trapped in seperate cells with no way to communicate telepathically with each other, it seems like there is no chance for their escape. Will Ma'el succeed in enslaving the mermyds of Atlantis? Or will Corwin and Nia escape and prevent him? The trilogy is brought to an end with this final book, Transformation.
READ THIS TRILOGY! It's creative, different, and action-packed. I LOVED this book! I especially liked how the three, Nia, Corwin, and the Farworlder, communicate telepathically. But best of all, this story ties in perfectly with the King Arthur legend. (You'll have to read it to find out how.) For Ages 8-14, and science fiction or fantasy fans.Transformation (Water Trilogy, Book 3) Overview

Ascension (Water Trilogy, Book 1) Review"Water: Ascension" is the first in a trilogy concerning sixteen-year old Nia, a mermyd of a prominent clan in the undersea realm of Atlantis. The City is ruled by squid-like Farworlders, and their Avatars - mermyds that undergo a special bonding ritual that allows them to communicate with the Farworlders and govern Atlantis wisely. To be an Avatar is the highest honour a mermyd can achieve, and it is Nia's dream. She believes she has a good chance at winning the position against other young candidates from other clans, but is devastated when her family instead chooses her cousin Garun instead of her.
The mystery deepens when Cephan, the young mermyd she likes, shows her a prisoner mermyd and a Farworlder that are kept as secret prisoners deep in the core of Atlantis. Nia is shocked at this, believing her city to be a purely benevolent citadel where things like dungeons and punishments are non-existent. The mystery deepens when Nia begins to suspect that her family is using magic to help Garun win the Seven Trials that each competitor must go through - and even her beloved grandfather Dyonis seems in on the conspiracy.
"Ascension" is followed by two more books; "Reunion" and "Transformation" and this is a beginning worthy enough to track them down, even though I am not a fan of authors/publishers that needlessly split their books into more than one volume. It will appeal most to readers between ten and twelve, as it is quite a slender book but there is quite a lot of exposition put in concerning how the bond between Avatar and Farworlders works, how the city runs and the layout of the Trials.
At times all of this is badly presented to the reader, often being too complicated or too contemporary (and with mentions of cloth existing underwater). For instance, there are references to "turtle-taxis" and "kelpaper journals," as well as words such as "biochemical" and "having a crush (on someone)". This would not be so bad if the time-period was assumed to be contemporary, but as it turns out in later books, it's actually set in medieval times.
But Atlantis itself is vividly portrayed, from its homes and markets, its meeting places and engineering mechanism and the "dry rooms" where air still exists to preserve documents. Kara Dalkey also has a gift with names, as all of the mermyds have appropriately aquatic, and somewhat Grecian names: Thalassa, Pelagia, Maru, Pontus and Callimar are just a few examples.
Nia herself is a great heroine: smart, athletic, spunky, but not too good to be true - her faults make her a well-rounded person, err, mermyd. She's very easy to relate to, and her motivations are clear and understood. By the end of this particular phase in her life, most will be reaching for the next book. Also, in a completely unrelated statement, I think the cover art on this book (and the next two) are just beautiful. I know it's wrong to judge a book by its cover, but if you did, this one would be the winner.Ascension (Water Trilogy, Book 1) Overview
