This series became my favorite with the first one.. now I just hope and pray that the muses fueling Derrolyn Anderson's imagination allow us mere mortals even mere glimpses of Marina's future. These books allow for a fantasy that will make you question reality, wish for the fantasy, and still be thrilled along the ride. Despite the trend, this story isn't seeking fame or fortunes, or even elongated teeth, however, it seeks love, honesty and self respect in spades. Thankfully the excellent writing of Ms. Anderson spares us the pains of overly romantic views (yeah, this isn't about the erotic) at the same time as she shows that a grasp on the English language allows for the reader to fall in love without extensive typos, bad grammar or any of the other traits I run across so frequently in the books even major bookhouses are putting out. The elegance of writing allows you to view the underwater world that may or may not have existed, or even exist today, and not only can you view it, but you can feel so much a part of it that it comes complete with that bittersweet sigh at the end.. the ones that only comes from truly enthusiastic readers, for characters from a truly exceptional story. Thank you, Derrolyn, for sharing your immense talent, imagination, and passion for a richly detailed story. Believe me, Ariel and Walt never thought mermaid life could be so very exciting... don't pass this up, folks, it is truly unique.
