The first half of the book I was confused which did continue on in the second half of the book, but less. Because of shifting between different times and places within the world happened very often and very quickly. So I had a bit trouble keeping track of what was happening and who we were following. But the ending totally made up for it. That is a plot twist I didn’t see coming, but I love it!

Gimblerod is leading the twins back in time when Falmouth is full of magic, except the twins can't use their magic. Why? Asher and Ariana don't know who to trust. Why? They are afraid to do anything that might change the future. Teagan has discover her heritage under the sea. Her parents are dead. Will Teagan decide to live under the sea than go back? What will happen to the twins?

Though the book is detailed, I read this book last night before going to sleep. I enjoyed the different perspectives in the story. It keeps the story interesting and fresh. Enjoy!

This is the fourth book in the Legend of Rhyme series which is a lovely little children's fantasy series full of adventure, magic and some great takeaway messages.

The books have actually seemed to mature slightly with each instalment which is great for children reading along although the books are short and sweet so it doesn't take very long to get through them. This one was the longest so far but it too ended on a cliffhanger and my biggest complaint is that I'm not sure when the next book is releasing OR how many books are going to be in this series.

I do enjoy how Teagan has been integrated into the story and the mish-mash of the past and the present as well as the environmental messages being passed onto the reader. All the original characters are still present with a lot of depth being added to them as we learn their past and back stories. Not everyone is as you think! There's also a new cast of characters being explored helping to make the world building more extensive and complex.

These stories are wonderful for children and filled with great imagination, adventure and tales of friendship, family and love.

This is the fourth book, in case you didn't already realize that, and a prime example of an author that continues to grow. Jaime's first book was a little bit rough around the edges, but this 4th installment really shines. I'm impressed with her continued growth and ability to accept and apply constructive criticism from her readers. I'm also very impressed with the growth her characters have had through the four books. It's one thing to have children in a series, but to have them grow and develop as these have isn't an easy task. If you haven't taken a trip down her imaginative lane, you might take that path less traveled and discover a piece of enchantment. Overall the series is well-constructed and an easy read. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
