The Dargonesti by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya Cook Book Review

It takes place of the coast of the mainland.  Princess Vixa is waiting on board a ship to pick up refugees from a war.  While waiting they get caught in a weird fog and end up in the middle of the ocean with no idea how they got there.  They run aground on an island and Vixa and some of the crew go explore the island to see if there is anyone living there.  They run into two people on the island who run away from them into what looks like a cave.  Vixa and her team go into the cave and find out that the cave is not what they thought it was.  It turns out they are inside a Kraken and that it is taking them deep into the ocean.  They arrive to an underwater kingdom of a race that Vixa thought had long since died off.  While there she meets a few prisoners that had been taken by the Kraken and now serve the queen as builders.  Vixa soon learns that the queen is planning to attack the kingdoms on the surface to become the ruler of all of the elf races.  Vixa befriends some elves that can change into dolphins to help her and some of the prisoners escape.  While escaping she in turn is turned into a dolphin to help the prisoners escape.  At the surface she is able to warn the surface kingdoms of what is going to happen and they prepare for war.  The war comes and Vixa and the surface kingdoms win.  But Vixa feels this pull month later to be in the sea and with one of the sea elves that helped her.  So she ends up returning to him.
    I really liked this book.  I liked that it had action going through out the book and that it was nonstop suspense.  I could not put this book down until I was done with it.  If there are anyone that likes fantasy books this is a must read.
