Remember firmly planted in the elements I look forward to the next book in the Selkies series Teresa Garcia Kirstie is part human and part Selkie who can also shape shift into a white cat She and her family which is part of the magical community help protect the seas and oceans with the help of gods and goddesses of the seas This book is about the last year of Kirstie s life at the school before she has her trials And there is evil lurking as well. Kindle Selkies' skins This story is much like Harry Potter except it s of Celtic origin and of the sea faring folk I very much like the Celtic flavor of stories and the myths behind it all In a sense.

Reading this book reminded me of a poem called Outlaws by Robert Graves For though creeds whirl away in dust Faith fails and men forget These aged gods of fright and lust Cling to life yet Old gods almost dead malign Starved of their ancient dues Incense and fruit fire blood and wine And an unclean muse Banished to woods and a sickly moon Shrunk to mere bogey things Who spoke with thunder once at noon To prostrate kings. Selkies' skinssence kota I enjoy the way Ms Garcia has breathed life into these aged gods of fright and lust and brought them into modern times where they are confronted by the excesses of humanity pollution of the oceans oil drilling platforms overfishing etc. Selkies' skinstyle I also enjoy the way she has taken the folk tales of the Gaelic heartland where I had the good fortune to be born and has spun a very engaging story of Selkies Kelpies Water Imps and a host of other mythical creatures which were believed to inhabit this ancient land Of course nobody believes in that sort of thing nowadays At least not in the well lit towns and villages of the Celtic lands But when you re camping out in the hinterland and the only light you can see is from the stars well somehow it doesn t seem quite so fanciful then. Book Selkies' skinspirit Like all good fantasy Selkies has one foot in reality and the other in folk lore and a third this is fantasy it s much better than Potter since there is the myth element. Selkies' Skins epubs air I can t wait for the second book to come out and see what happens to Kirstie I got this book from Story Cartel in exchange for my review Teresa Garcia Thirteen year old Kirsty is a half blood selkie Selkies are related to mermaids and are basically humanoids who take the form of seals Kirsty and her parents are also wizards Her father Finnol has a rather mundane sounding job but he actually helps out with oil spills and prevents Cowans normal humans from discovering merfolk Etain Kirsty s mom is a priestess of the sea goddess Mara and has exciting adventures aboard her ensorcelled ship the Sea Witch The story mostly follows Kirsty and her magical studies including merstudies at a castle that serves as a wizard school and Etain as she does Mara s bidding I liked Kirsty but found some of the wizard school stuff a bit derivative However I imagine younger Harry Potter fans will find the tropes familiar and comfortable Where Garcia really shines are the depictions of nautical life and everything water related I felt like I was sailing on ships swimming with the merfolk there are lots of different kinds and strapping on my seal skin. Poetry Selkies' skinstore The book s glossary is beautiful and reflects the complexity of the watery realms it explores Overall this book is a fun imaginative read Teresa Garcia This books is like the Mists of Avalon meets Harry Potter which is amazing But it is three books in one and I absolutely loved the first but lost interest in the second The third caught me again but not as much as the first If this were released as three separate novellas with less grammar errors it would be one of my favs but it is a good one time read Teresa Garcia
