Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist

BOOK NAME: Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist
AUTHORS: Liz Kessler

Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist is a story of adventure, friendship, mystery, and determination. It all starts with Emily–a semi-mer (half human and half mermaid) who finds a strange diamond ring. The diamond ring gives Emily a weird feeling; it feels like the ring talks to her and digs into her skin. As soon as Emily puts the ring on, she can no longer get it off.

Emily soon finds out that this ring is property of King Neptune, the king of the sea. Neptune is angry at Emily for taking it, and curses her that at midnight, under the full moon, she will turn either fully human, or fully mermaid. She will also have to say goodbye to one of her parents forever, because one of her parents is human, and the other is a mermaid.

Emily learns the story behind the ring, and that there is a pearl ring that matches it. If she finds the pearl ring, her curse can be broken! Then Emily discovers that the full moon is that night, and she only has a few hours left to find the pearl ring! She sees a castle far away. Is it possible that this castle can help her achieve her goal?

I didn’t really like this book. I felt that certain parts were very confusing. I’m also not a very big fan of fantasy. Yet if you like fantasy, you will definitely enjoy this book!

This book sounds really good. No offense, Tamar, but I think that this book is a good fantasy reading pick on my reading list.

The reason it may have been confusing was because there is a book (or books) that come before it. The first one is called The Tail of Emily Windsnap. I read it awhile ago, but I remember it being pretty good.

Hi Everyone,
Tamar here! I’m so happy you all think the book sounds good! Truthfully, it WAS good! I just don’t like fantasy so much, and as love2read said, it’s a bit confusing without reading the first 2 books. When I read it, I thought that it was one of those series that it doesn’t matter in what order you read the books. Well then, I guess I was mistaken! So if you are planning on reading this book, you may want to take a look at the first two books beforehand.

I LOVE this book! I think it is fantastic!!!! It is a bit confusing without the first 2 books, I have to agree. BUT if you want to read it, I would recommend reading The Tale of Emily Windsnap and then the 2nd book and then read the 3rd book.

This book is amazing! I read the other ones, too, and they were AWESOME!!! It transports you into a completely different world. If you are having second thoughts about reading this since it’s about mermaids, it’s not babyish at all. You should read it, especially if you like fantasy like Tamar said. If you want to start the series, the first book is also a great I’m-bored-and-I-don’t-know-what-to-do-and-it’s-raining-and-I-can’t-go-outside-and-I-feel-like-reading-but-I-don’t-know-what-to-read book.
