She loves going to mermaid school and being with her best friend Shona. P.S: EMILY AND AARON MY BABIES ASDFGHKL *rolls away*Įmily Windsnap is half mermaid half ordinary girl. Until my next review, see you soon, my beautiful readers ♥ But it is so much deeper than someone can understand, so beautifully crafted and so refreshing, like the cool water of the sea. I don't know what else to say, since you guys probably are bored to hear how much I love this series. I was happy to remember he had a very sensitive side and lots of open wounds that justified his harsh actions. Poseidon in this book was a little less of an asshole. I forgive you, he said, and his voice softened into a whisper I forgive you, he shouted at the moon, the sky. I sobbed and let the story keep me in its folds, and I also smiled and my heart warmed up by the beautiful ending and the promise that something good is about to happen, even if nothing seems like it. The writing and plot made me cry at least every minute, especially at the end.
In this book, Emily also met her soulmate ♥ Shona was also amazing, strong and loyal and always optimistic, despite the fact that Emily is always followed by a cloud. Yes, she used to be a comic relief in the first book, but she became better and better, and I absolutely loved how protective and motherly she was in this one. Despite the young of her age, she was willing to gamble and play everything if there was at least one chance to save the people she loved, even if the waves took her life.Īnother character I came to adore even more when I first read this book was of course Millie. In this book, we saw how much of a strong girl Emily is in fact. She worries she is not worthy of them more than the normal teenagers, and that mostly has to do with the things she went through. She worries she'll lose one of them (especially her dad) again. Poseidon, the king of the seas gets furious with Emily's finding and exiles her to a place far, far away, while at the same time throwing her a curse.Įmily's relationship with her parents is explained. It focuses on a mysteriously beautiful diamond ring Emily finds one day close to her ship, and realizes she can't take it off her finger. Unlike the others that have the occasional laugh or the lighting of the atmosphere, this one is purely made of action, worries and Emily's doubts that are deeper than the ocean itself. There are reasons this book is my favorite in the series, although I love it as a whole. And they will forever symbolize true love and its power against every bad thing And they will be worn only by a man from the sea and a woman from the earth, or the child that will exist from such a couple. When these two rings connect, every action that was a product of anger or hate will cease to exist. She’s smart, she’s spunky, she can be brave, but mostly she’s just an ordinary teenaged girl that just happens to have a tail.Ī complex story with deepening questions about love and its meanings, anger and its consequences, redemption and hope for the future…couched in a lushly detailed story about underwater life that should capture the attention and hearts of girls who love adventurous, romantic tales encased in charming fantasy elements.5/5 stars of course (and so far my favorite in the series) Liz Kessler and book mention in article “CBC Plans Online Venture with Girl Scouts”
What will most delight readers are the details of undersea life, from course work in hair brushing to ‘scale polish’ for decorating tails. Kessler combines the whimsy of life as a mermaid with the problems of an average middle-schooler…Plenty of dialogue and Ledwidge’s soft, dreamlike line drawings add textual and visual interest, making for a zippy story in an attractive package. Should be an easy sell to girls looking for a friendship story with more than a touch of make believe.
This quick read is light and charming but also heartfelt.
