This is the 5th book in the Kingdom Keepers series, following the 5 Disney holographic hosts and now their friends, Amanda and Jess, who are fairlies. I don't want to give away much more because it would give away parts of the stories of the 4 earlier books.

I will say, the 4 earlier books took place in different parks that make up Disney World in FL. Now, in this installment, they are on a Disney cruise ship, Dream.

Interesting thing about this book is it starts and ends almost exactly the same. It ends in a big cliff hanger so of course I'm reading the next one, I just need to wait to get it from the library.

I have one big complaint about the writing of this book... the action scenes were the best. Not that they didn't have the greatest action but that the descriptions of them weren't clear. there were many sections that I would read through and think, who did what now?? Then I'd have to go back and see if I could figure it out. Eventually, this grew tiresome and I gave up. I would read/skim through parts of the action and then just read more closely towards the end if figure out what happened.

Overall, all of the books are going to get 3 stars. They keep me entertained, I'm able to read them but I get hung up or bored at times and put it down. I'm not enthralled. And there are issues with the writing, for me, here and there.
