SUPER![.]

I just finished reading this book.... it was so so sad! i wish nia and corwin could have gone back to atlantis.... but somehow i didn't understand why they just left her in the lake. i mean couldn't they go to the ocean and they could heal there??? other than that, it showed Nia's passion for atlantis and all that she loved..... it is definately a great book, and it shows that the author has true talent if she can work King Arthur and Merlin and excalibur into the story.... i thought that was so clever and it made the perfect ending... an awesome read!

The Trilogy Ends with Action, Betrayal, and Friendship

Nia, Corwin, and their Farworlder have finally completed their naming. But there is still trouble ahead. Ma'el, the evil mermyd tyrant, has taken over Atlantis and enslaved its people. Determined not to allow Ma'el to get away with his evil intentions, Nia and Corwin know that they must somehow travel back to Atlantis and free the city from Ma'el. Unfortunately, Corwin is human, and cannot breathe underwater. Yet, a secret about his past comes to light, and Corwin discovers that he is half human, half mermyd, with partially developed gills. Nia and the farworlder manage to help his gills develop, and the three of them return to Atlantis.When they return to Atlantis, Nia discovers that her family has been either imprisoned in dry-rooms or killed. With the return of the new Avatars, the Atlanteans gain hope. They rebel against Ma'el, but he still manages to capture Nia, Corwin, and their farworlder. Trapped in seperate cells with no way to communicate telepathically with each other, it seems like there is no chance for their escape. Will Ma'el succeed in enslaving the mermyds of Atlantis? Or will Corwin and Nia escape and prevent him? The trilogy is brought to an end with this final book, Transformation.READ THIS TRILOGY! It's creative, different, and action-packed. I LOVED this book! I especially liked how the three, Nia, Corwin, and the Farworlder, communicate telepathically. But best of all, this story ties in perfectly with the King Arthur legend. (You'll have to read it to find out how.) For Ages 8-14, and science fiction or fantasy fans.

This was a great book series!

you can probley tell what this book is about by looking at other descriptions. But if you like atlantis,action,alittle romance then this book is for you. It even made me cry at the end it was so nice.

Great conclusion to a wonderful trilogy!

Nia and Corwin have one common goal---Stop the evil Avatar, Ma'el, before it is too late and he destroys their worlds. Now the two of them are joined as Avatars, working together to stop their one common enemy. Soon they learn that the only way to stop Ma'el is to use a magical sword that lies in the deeps of Atlantis. After a dangerous journey through the seas they finally reach Atlantis only to find out to their utter shock that the sword is nowhere to be found, and all the people of Atlantis have been enslaved by Ma'el. The now once grand city of Atlantis is now nothing but ruins! Will Nia and Corwin be able to stop Ma'el in time before he destroys both their worlds? This trilogy was one of the best I read. Twist and turns everywhere that keep you guessing right up to the end. Another great job for Kara Dalkey! Hopefully she decides to write more fantasy books like this. This trilogy is definitely one of the best books on Atlantis I have ever read!

The thrilling conclusion to the Water trilogy.

Nia and Corwin are joined together as Avatars, linked together with Gobaith, the young Farworlder. Now they face their greatest challenge yet as they travel to Atlantis to stop the evil Avatar Ma'el and his Farworlder, Joab. Nia and Corwin hope to find a magical, powerful sword that they hope can help them defeat Ma'el for once and for all. But they arrive in Atlantis to find the sword missing. They must search for the sword in the once-grand city, now a ghostly near-ruin. But even if they find the sword, will they be able to save Atlantis, and even if they succeed in stopping Ma'el, what sacrifices will Nia and Corwin have to make? I read this thrilling, shocking conclusion to the Water trilogy in one sitting, it was that much of a page-turner. This whole series has managed to surprise me at every turn -- not an easy accomplishment! I highly recommend the entire Water trilogy to fans of fantasy novels, especially if you are interested in the legend of Atlantis.
