"The Seaborn Trilogy" is one of those series that is hard to categorize.  Yes, it is a fantasy series, but that is not the hard part.  Other than that I thought that the story line was well thought out.  The first book was the best written, followed by the second than the third as far as flow is concerned."Saltwater Witch" starts off with Kassandra, a fifteen year old girl, living in Nebraska.  She is a ward of the state living in a prison like school setting.  Often abused by one of the women at the school she finds herself isolated without many people left standing to stick up for her.  Left to drown to her death, in the middle of a lake, by some of her classmates, Kassandra finds out that she can breath underwater and that there is a "sea witch" trying to kill her.  This experience added to the fact that it is her birthday wakes up her innate abilities and leads her down the road toward her ultimate fate.Overall, this is not a teen series.  Just because the main character is fifteen during the first novel, doesn't mean its a YA novel.  There is also a bit of the horror genera written into the pages of this first book, that takes a larger part in the second book in the series "Seaborn".The first novel, "Saltwater Witch" is mainly written in first person.  You, the reader, get to hear Kassandra's thoughts along with those of the wraith-wearers living in her head.  Yes, there are a few "F" bombs dropped by Kassandra in the first couple of chapters, but that's pretty much it for the entire series.  If you are worried about that, then don't bother with this book, there are far more horrible things that happen through out the series than a few curses.
