    <body><![CDATA[What a fantastic debut novel! I really can’t wait to read the rest of this series. Atlantis has always been something I’ve found fascinating the whole basis of the mythology surrounding it... does it really exist, or is it a load of bull. I’ve read about it fictional literature and I have to say that I loved Hoover’s take on it! <br/><br/>Supreme beings capable of telekinesis, telepathy and teleportation! Hiding Lemuria in the “Ring of Fire and extremely cool gadgets like the Geodine, simply brilliant! My only complaint is that I wish the characters would have wowed me as much as the fantasy world that Hoover created did. Not that I didn’t like the characters, but sometimes I find them to be a little flat. Something I’m hoping to remedy as the series continues. <br/><br/>I also liked the fact that even though this was a fantasy novel, I never once rolled my eyes and thought that would never happen. Hoover remained true to the limitations she created in her world and on her characters and that was greatly appreciated!  The solutions to the problems they faced were realistic and their solutions where more than satisfactory. <br/><br/>And although the ending leaves a lot to be explored I was still happy with the conclusion of the novel!  A fun, fast-paced and extraordinary read! <br/>]]></body>
