    About this ebook


    Join the pirate crew in their final spectacular adventure!

    Jolly, Griffin, and their pirate friends are back, battling to save the world from the evil Maelstrom. Griffin leaves his magic room in the belly of a giant whale to take on the lord of the kobalins. Princess Soledad fights to protect the sea star city and encounters an awe-inspiring serpent god. Together, Jolly and Munk make their way underwater to reach the center of the Maelstrom. There they meet the beautiful Aina, who is a polliwog like themselves but from an ancient time. Is she a girl or a ghost? A friend or an enemy?

    While the battle for the sea star city is raging, Jolly learns the shocking truth about Aina. As Jolly begins to understand the past, she realizes what she must do to save the whole Caribbean. But is she already too late? This rip-roaring fantasy filled with nonstop action is a perfect ending to magical mastermind Kai Meyer's swashbuckling Wave Walkers trilogy.

      I rushed right out to the store the day this was released, I couldn't wait to read this last installment. The first two books in this very creative trilogy had had me riveted and enthralled. This finale is not bad, but not fabulous and I think on the whole I was disappointed. The entire book is one long battle. It picks up immediately after the ending of the second book, and could not be read as a stand alone in any way. If you tried to you would not understand a thing. The battle for Alenium to defeat the Maelstrom is a roller-coaster ride of adventure, battles under the ocean, battles on the ocean, battles over the ocean and the battle in the city itself. Switching constantly from one aspect of the battle to the another, from one of the many characters to another quickly, the story just seems to never end and goes on an on and leaves you a bit impatient to just have it over with. Although the action is there and the magic too, it lacked the plot substance and deep character development that I felt made the first two books more wonderful. I actually too thought in some sections, the story was wobbly and was starting to not make sense. I loved the flying manta rays and the very cool seahorses, Jaconius the whale and the return of the magic mussels, but I did not like the rather dumb twist of what the author did with the Hexhermetic Worm. If you take the three books as a whole, as one story, then this gets high marks and rave reviews. This is a story that is different and extremely well written, with fantasy features that are very creative. But as a stand alone story this lacks quite a bit. I highly recommend then to take all three books and read them one after another quickly to get a better feel for the whole image of the story Meyer creates. I didnt hate this book, but I cant say I loved it either.
