MY TIDBITS

This is the third book in the Land of Mystica Series, and although it's not too difficult to get into the story, I still wouldn't recommend it as a stand alone.

Miranda has grown from when we first meet her in book one and has gained a good handle on her abilities and what it means to be a Dream Walker. Still, there are lessons to be learned and hurdles to over come. She's an easy character to follow and her actions usually are understandable and make sense.

This book takes a lovely pirate twist, introducing the background of the cold sea and all of its dangers. Several new characters are introduced, each with their own addition of layers to the story. Miranda gains friends, meets horrible enemies and must face some heart jerking losses.

The plot moves along at a constant pace, never lagging. The story telling feeling found in the first two books continues here, keeping the same format. Told in third person and with the traditional tale telling flair, details and depth are skimmed over letting the concentration remain on the main plot.

There are unexpected twists and turns, and moments where its impossible to know if everything will work out. Its an easy and short read with a satisfying ending which ties up most ends nicely.

The writing and length is great for reluctant readers, and I'd recommend this to the younger end of the YA spectrum.
