EXCERPT
THESPA, QUEEN OF the water sprites, and ruler of all the Never Sea, returned to the human world with a profound sense of dread. As the leader of the watery half of Neverland, not much worried her.
At least, it hadn’t until the humans began forgetting about magic and the sprites began dying.
This trip back to the human world wasn’t one she had made out of choice—necessity brought her here. She’d come to find someone to believe in her, possibly several someones, depending upon how successful her quest proved to be. Then, she’d bring them back with her as a sort of insurance so she’d never have to come to this wretched place again.
Fish won’t do, she decided, staring at the wide-set eyes of one particularly ugly pufferfish. She stood on a wide piece of coral, deep beneath the waves of this warm human ocean, and looked around. More unintelligent fish, crabs, and other sea creatures milled about, none looking particularly pleased or excited to see her. The only ones who showed any interest in her at all were the ones who stopped just long enough to see if she was a small, sparkly bit of food.
This could take forever. Her wings dipped down in dejection. I wonder how long it took the pixie to find that flying Peter-boy?
One of the golden pixies, Tink, had been the first to bring someone to Neverland. When that proved successful, she’d brought a handful more. Her Lost Ones, the pixie had named them. They were, Tink explained, the ones the human world wouldn’t miss.
Thespa crinkled her nose in disgust. As a creature of the sea, she didn’t care for humans. Though they resembled water sprites and had legs to walk about on, they lacked a graceful set of wings that could take them through both water and air. And they most certainly didn’t have any magic. Humans were meant to be above the sea, not below it. Still, the idea of taking someone or something to Neverland that wouldn’t be missed did appeal to Thespa. She sighed, wondering how long it took Tink to find her Lost Ones.
She started to fly from her perch and try a new place when something stopped her. Literally.
Thespa looked down and scowled, kicking the errant strand of seaweed that had twisted itself around her foot. The bit of green plant gave way at her vicious kick, but left a long green streak of slime down the length of her leg as a parting gift. This, of course, did absolutely nothing to improve her mood.
She was so aggravated that something extremely important had escaped her notice—the gaping jaws of an eel headed directly at her. Her anger disappeared in a fleeting second, but it was too late to move.
A hand wrapped around her an instant before the monster’s teeth snapped.
Nonplussed at missing its small, sparkly appetizer, the eel swam off in search of another easy, unsuspecting meal.
Once the hand opened, Thespa let out an uneasy breath and looked up into a pair of wide, silver eyes, framed by long locks of blond hair.
At first, she thought she’d been saved by a human, but then she spotted his long tail and realized he was as much a creature of the sea as she—and he was exactly who she’d been searching for.
MY REVIEW:
NERIDA IS BOOK 3 IN THE UNTOLD STORIES OF NEVERLAND. THIS IS THE STORY OF NERIDA, NEVERLAND'S SEA WITCH. I REALLY ENJOYED NERIDA JUST AS MUCH AS THE OTHER TWO BOOKS IN THE SERIES. THESPA, QUEEN OF THE WATER SPRITES BRINGS MERMEN AND MERMAIDS TO NEVERLAND. FROM THE BEGINNING, NERIDA DOES NOT TRUST THESPA AND ADVISES HER FATHER AGAINST GOING. NERIDA'S FATHER DOES NOT LISTEN AND EVENTUALLY IS KILLED. NERIDA IS A VERY STRONG AND CARING CHARACTER. SHE LOVES HER FAMILY AND PEOPLE VERY MUCH. I LOVED WATCHING NERIDA'S CHARACTER DEVELOP OVERTIME. SHE IS VERY STRONG AND SETS OUT TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR HER PEOPLE BUT FACES MANY OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY. DESPITE THE OBSTACLES, SHE NEVER BECOMES BITTER AND EVIL. BECOMING THE SEA WITCH WAS HER DESTINY ALL ALONG.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES. I LOVE HOW THE AUTHOR RETELLS THE STORIES OF NEVERLAND. IT IS REFRESHING TO WATCH THE CHARACTERS YOU GREW UP WITH DEVELOP THROUGH THE EYES OF THE AUTHOR, K.R. THOMPSON. I AM A BIG FAN OF FAIRYTALES AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES. I LOVE THE AUTHOR'S STYLE OF WRITING AND HOW SHE IMAGINES NEVERLAND AND ALL THE CHARACTERS. I LOVE HOW SHE DRAWS YOU INTO EACH STORY AND YOU GET LOST IN THE STORY. THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ. 5 STARS.
