Quickly moved on to the third book - again I enjoyed the book but action packed they are not. And I thought this was the last but it is not and I don't have the next book and my library do not stock it - a bit annoying. ( ) This book is the third book in the Ingo series by Helen Dunmore. It focuses on a young girl along with her brother (Sapphire & Connor) who are part Mer and part Human. Their father, a Mer, has returned to the underwater world of Ingo and is remarried with a new son. The more I read this, the more I wanted to read the first two books (which I haven't) to find out exactly how they learned they were part mer and how the father "chose" to return to Ingo and leave his family behind. The book is titled "The Deep" and the jacket information says that she'll travel to the deep and confront a great evil which threatens borth worlds. But, the actual trip to the deep and confronting the Kraken only comprised 50 pages of the 330 page book. I expected more action. I would say that the book is mostly about Sapphire coming to grips with the fact that her father has left and created a new home for himself and accepting that she's a part of both worlds. If you're expecting a lot of action, then you'll be disappointed, but, if you like getting into someone's thoughts and learning "who" they are, then you'll really like this book. I liked it, but, I just thought there'd be more action. Sapphire’s mixed human and Mer blood lets her do many things—unnatural things. Like breathe underwater, swim really fast, and survive The Deep. Even as Sapphire struggles to cope with issues on land, like her mom’s boyfriend, the Mer of Ingo ask something very important of her. An evil is awakening in The Deep, and the Mer aren’t able to go down there to stop it. It’s up to Sapphire to find a way to save a world that some people don’t even know exists. Mermaids! It’s almost—yes, it may almost be—better than faeries! How long it has been since I’ve read a book about mermaids! Now that I’m done gushing, let me review. :) The Deep is a children’s novel, the third in a series about the world of Ingo. Having not read the first two, I can say the The Deep stands alone well, but would be much more enjoyable after reading the first two books. Dunmore’s descriptions are tantalizing and well-woven in to the story. The plot is tense (I read the book straight-through) and surprising. I think Dunmore’s readers will all end the book with an ‘I want to be a mermaid!’ I highly recommend this for the younger fantasy readers (but then, I enjoyed it quite a bit, so older fantasy readers might like it too), both boys and girls. Rating: 4 Stars (YA)/5 Stars (Children) Length: 336 Pages Ages: 10 and up Recommended for: younger fantasy readers; mermaid lovers :)
