This book is set on the planet Zora, where Dragons, Humans, and Fae reside. Elven Kingdoms deal with the different types of fae that are found there. As you might guess from the title Sea Elves exist on this world. More at home in water, they are still able to live on land by having gills on the sides of their necks. But we first meet another elf, whose brother’s story was told earlier in the series. Kaylani has the ability to hold her breath underwater for and unreasonable amount of time. And she loves to swim. On a long swim, she sees a slave ship and decides to single handedly save the slaves and so starts this story. She is saved/captured by a Sea Elf named Varum and taken far from her home near her brother and the beach. Here I feel the story started to drag, as she sits in Varum’s quarters, unable to free herself. I didn’t think that the interactions between Kaylani and Varum really moved the plot along until near the end of the book when it seems that everything has imploded and there is no hope. As always, Donna Grant writes an exceptional story with well-developed plotlines and interesting secondary characters. Readers of this series will get bits and pieces of information that moves the larger story along. Characters from prior and future books make appearances. All of this ensures that readers will continue to want more from this series. Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one in this series.
I received and ARC of this book from the author through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
