Reunion

I love this series, and this book is definitely as good, if not better, than the previous book.It's about a young mermyd named Nia who's just been infected by a Farworlder from the city of Atlantis, and she knows that if she doesn't find the Farworlder and complete the Naming, she'll die. So she goes up onto the human world and meets a boy named Corwin.Corwin had found the shell containing the young Farworlder, and had also been infected by him, but King Vortigern's sons had stolen the shell and brought it back to their father. Corwin and Nia have to work together to save their lives, and also the lives of the people of Atlantis who are under the rule of an Avatar and Farworlder gone wrong...This is a marvelous book, and I recommend it to anyone who has read the first book!

This was a very good book, of course it is the 2nd of 3 books. All of them tie into other old world stories which works. The end of the 3rd book could have had more happy details but overall it was worth reading.

I started reading the first book of the series when i was on vacation. i didn't know that i would enjoy it so much! i just had to get the other ones. i found the seccond one (it took me a day to read), and i liked that one the best. even after i got the third book, i liked the seccond one the best. i don't know why, i guess i just like the middle parts the best! :) i can't wait to read more of Kara's books! i hope this helps someone in need of finding a good book.

16-year-old Corwin's life in Wales is hard. Life isn't very easy when you have to scavage the land everyday searching for you next meal. However Corwin has survived. Even though he never got to know his parents he lives with Fenwyck, a traveling entertainer. However when Fenwyck was killed by the horribly evil King Vortigern, Corwin finds himself running for his life and a wanted person. While in hiding Corwin discovers a shell that is very peculiar. He hope that he can sell it and get a better life but the King's men manage to get it before he can do anything with it. However the shell has left it's mark. He is filled with the beautiful images of a girl. And soon he meets up with her. She turns out to be Nia, a beautiful merymd from the lost city of Atlantis. It turns out they must struggle to get the shell back because it holds the key to both of their lives and also Atlantis.Kara Dalkey is just brilliant. I loved her first Water book and the second is great as well. She is two for two. Can't wait for the conclusion now.

Life 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.
