This is an under water story with mermaids as the main characters. At first the filling in of the characters and the world is confusing with the different words. But when it comes to the day of Serafina's leader ceremony things heat up and the action gets interesting. The plot kept me reading to find out the ending. The writer makes way for the next book which I will definitely read. I bought all three books in the series. A definite fantasy story to get lost in. Lots of great descriptions. Writer has a good imagination.
