Ascension is Book One of Three. The sea is the birthplace of legends. Nia, a young mermyd of the Bluefin clan, has had one wish all her life -- to be an Avatar in her beloved home of Atlantis. The ten Avatars rule the beautiful and peaceful undersea city alongside the ancient Farworlders, whose magic keeps their world alive. To be an Avatar is an honor and a great responsibility, and Nia dreams of taking her place among the noble ten. Now, at sixteen, Nia has a chance to see her dream come true. Atlantis is choosing its next Avatar, and Nia knows she is supremely qualified. But there is something Nia doesn't know -- if she gets her heart's desire, it could mean the end of her treasured world of Atlantis forever. The adventure continues in Water 2: Reunion. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A tale of the undersea dives into your feelingsThis book was amazing and changed your feelings each time in the book. If you were to read this book, be prepared to face changing feelings. The author does an amazing job describing everything and sometimes makes you feel like you're right there and are the person it's happening to. Have fun reading this almost life changing story... Rating: - Wonderful SeriesThis Series is wonderful, for both children and adults. I enjoyed every second of it and even went back to read it again. I would suggest this book for anyone who loves fantasy. Its an easy read for those who are older and a challenging and amaising story for those who are just starting. Rating: - Greatest book!!This is a must read for fantasy lovers. It's well written, easy to understand, has wonderful characters, and the plot is great! Rating: - Excellent trilogy - Kara Dalkey's so good!I read this trilogy when it first came out. Having read Kara Dalkey's "Little Sister" I was willing to try anything she wrote. It was certainly a fresh story with endearing characters. Although a tad predicable and corny at moments, it's not as much as similar books. The story does have a clever ending that will make you smack your head and wonder why you didn't put that together, though. All in all, if you like fantasy/fairy tale books you will enjoy this series. Very easy read, though not necessarily ... Read More Rating:  - It.. uh.. could have been better, but...Well, I loved most of this book. I read it when I was about 12 I think, and it was the first real fantasy I had ever read. I read it really quickly, and I had every intension of reading the other books in the trilogy. Until the end anyway. ^_^; It was really shocking towards the very last pages, and there was some killing and blood. I know some people say it's perfectly decent for 8 year olds, but it still seems pretty iffy. It just depends on perspective, I guess.
