Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Born into nobility, Helaine can't get over the fact that Jenna, a mere peasant on their home world, is her equal. Their constant bickering convinces the four magic-users to take a much-needed vacation. Hoping for a relaxing time at the beach, they go to Brine, a water-filled world with floating islands and telepathic sea creatures.
What's supposed to be a relaxing holiday turns into chaos when pirates attack the helpless natives and capture Jenna and Pixel. Using magic is difficult on this outer-rim planet and Pixel's fate becomes grim when he is thrown overboard to a bloodthirsty sea monster. Meanwhile, Jenna-inexperienced in battle and separated from her friends-must rely on innovation and instinct to outwit the pirates, who are forcing her and the other captives to tunnel dangerously close to the sweltering core of an active volcano.

Helaine is having trouble getting along with Jenna, the new member of the team, and it's driving Pixel and Score crazy. Oracle suggests they take a vacation on Brine, a world that is almost entirely covered by water. But when they arrive they find themselves in a battle for their lives against pirates. This book shows the relationship between Helaine and Score growing. And there is an exchange between Oracle and Shanara which shows that the biggest threat to the original trio might be from the people they trust the most.

Certainly, this new set of books is different from the original six. Helaine is reportedly a brunette when she used to be a blonde, they add a new character, and everyone does a few very uncharacteristic things. But then, as time changes, people change.
Another thing to take into account is the writing style of this new set. It certainly uses more interesting language than the original series and appears to be geared more toward teenage leaders, possibly as a way to draw more people in from the Harry Potter crowd.
Regardless of the change of style, this book, as well as The Book of War, pretty much rocked my world. It's a lot of fun to read, and it kept me captivated the entire time. Sidenote: I'm 18 years old and in college. It takes a LOT to keep me captivated.
Rated by buyers -
My 12 year old daughter read this book as soon as it arrived. She said she was impatient for the subsequent book to be released. She really enjoys this series.
