Atlantis

Fantasy

Intersection of Different Worlds
– In the second book of the Water Trilogy, the human world and the mermyd world intersect as the problems facing Nia in Atlantis are brought out of the ocean and to the feet of Corwin on land.  This list contains other books where two different worlds intersect, and the people from those worlds must learn how to get along.

King Arthur
– At the end of the series, we learn the Sword of Peace, Eikis Calli Werr, is actually the legendary sword Excalibur given to King Arthur by the Lady of the Lake, whom turns out to be our own Nia.  If you liked the connections to King Arthur found throughout the series, then you’ll enjoy these other books also relating to the story of King Arthur.

Mermaids
– Dalkey’s mermyds are the equivalent of the mermaids.  If reading about mermaid life and culture under the sea drew you into these books, then consider reading these other books in which mermaids play a large role.
