Ascension by Kara Dalkey

3.0

I've had this on my shelf forever (like since middle or high school), and finally decided to read it since it was clearly a quick read. I was surprised that I quite enjoyed it. It wasn't the greatest book ever or anything, but I expected to read a chapter and put it down. I'm glad it was a bit more enjoyable than I expected. It was about Nia, a young "mermyd" living in Atlantis. She is the favorite to be the next avatar and protector of Atlantis but is surprised and disappointed when she isn't even chosen to compete for the title. Some mystery surrounds those that are chosen and Nia learns that her perfect city isn't quite so perfect. I think I would actually even like to read the next one if I find it and get around to at it some point. :)
