A Princess of Wind and Wave by Melanie Cellier
4.0
I think this is one of my favorites in the series, just based on the different premise and adventure it had as compared to the others. As a remake of the Little Mermaid, I'm sure you can somewhat guess how different it was. And while I always recommend reading a series in order, you probably could get away with reading this as a stand-alone.
Isla has been pretty well stuck at home most of her life. The daughter of the King, their safety lies in their underwater home. While she has negotiated for guard duty that lets her leave those depths, the surface is still unavailable to her, and all she dreams of is the man she secretly rescued one night, and the adventure the surface brings.
Isla was by far the most adventurous heroine we've had so far. She was active and didn't let a whole lot stop her. While her love interest wasn't quite as developed, I still found their story engaging and sweet. I also enjoyed her uncle who accompanied her, as he provided some comic relief and was a great character in his own right.
Like all of these books, this is a quick read. The adventure moves it swiftly along. It's marketed towards young adults, and I would say its entirely appropriate for that age group. It's fun, light reading.
Nice addition to the series! I've continued to enjoy Cellier's books.
