Hippocampus The Atlantis Revolution Book 1 edition by Tom Tancin Children eBooks

Atlantis exists. Trey, a member of his high school swimming team, is transported to Atlantis where he discovers he is the ruling Prince. The reason for this is the whole royal family have been slaughtered by the Knights of the Abyss and Aerian the sorceress has sent the call for Trey to assume his true heritage.

Along the road to recovering the kingdom from the Knights, Trey finds out many things about the island of Atlantis and his own beginnings. For instance he is adopted and his Grandfather is a sorcerer. Good idea and the start of what might be a good series.

The concept of this book intrigued me but I have to admit to being disappointed with the presentation. The formatting did not adjust to various ebook readers, I tried two or three different ones, and there were hyphens in words that did not belong in the middle of lines of text. I also found the story to be disjointed and at times the author appeared to be offering me a science lesson. In other words he told me what happened rather than showing me by actions and memories. All these anomalies interrupted the flow of reading the story.

I would suggest with a good edit, this could be a wonderful book and series. Too often Atlantis is portrayed as a sunken world of affluence and goodness. This book shows a different side to Atlantis which is well worth investigating.

This review may contain spoilers
This was given to me in ebook form from Confessions of a Bookaholic for review
Summary The Knights of the Abyss wage war on Atlantis. Sixteen year old Trey Atlas is the only one that can stop them from destroying all that Atlantis stands for and, as a result, erasing his own mysterious past.

Atlantis exists. Of course, you don't know this because it's hidden from our world. Eleven thousand years ago, the Greeks and Egyptians attacked Atlantis. In order to protect the island, Aruc, a sorcerer, created an illusion of the island sinking and then put a barrier in place to prevent outsiders from seeing or gaining access to Atlantis. But Aruc knew that the isolated island was not safe forever. In fact, he cast the very prophecy that predicted the bleak future of the island. His prophecy became known as Profiteia ek Espanastasi.

From Blood of Evil and Blood of True
A Boy is Born and this Prophecy Due
For When the Abyss Rises to Make It's Mark
The Saviour is the Boy wit Royal Blood Half Dark

The sorcerer then designed a plan that would ensure the survival of the island he loved. For thousands of years, Atlantis continued in Peace and prosperity with no need for the plan.
Sixteen years ago, the Prince foreseen in Aruc's prophecy was born. Familiar with the prophecy, and knowing that one day the boy would be needed to save Atlantis, the royal family sent the baby off to ensure his safety in the world outside Atlantis. Eleven thousand years after it was created, Aruc's plan was finally put in motion.
The Atlantis Revolution begins....

I was worried that I wouldn't like this book, I didn't like it, I REALLY LOVED IT, I would give this book 4.5/5,
I am not a big lover of mythological books but this went beyond basic mythology, The story starts in Atlantis, with Aerian who is a sorceress, she helps guide you to Trey our hero in the story, which brings you to the present day, The detail in the descriptions of the characters were fab, as I said Trey is our hero, he didn't really have a love interest in this one, but as this is aimed at the YA, that is not a bad thing, Aerian(the sorceress) calls to Trey to get him to help her and then explains to him how and why he is now in Atlantis and then she helps Trey to overtake the rebellion, Ries is the soldier who stands by Trey in his hour of need and helps him in his quest, he is almost like a father figure to Trey, I know Trey is the hero but I seriously do believe that Ries has his own story to tell, maybe a lost love? Trey finds a new friend in Oaren, a boy just a little younger than himself but wise in the world of Atlantis, he helps him to become what he should be.
The language what can I say about that WOW, just wow, love that it was based on the Greek language especially when you read why Atlantis disappeared. This book is a full on adventure, I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish, I could not put it down, I am a woman reaching the age of mmmm 40 and I enjoyed it, I love a good romance and this was a break from the norm for me but I would gladly take another break.
I felt like I had been transported to Atlantis, I was there in the story, fighting for the people's rights, right along side Trey and his team, I love when a book can do that, I am really looking forward to part two.
This really seems like a book that a teenage boy would love, full of action, adventure and a damsel in distress. Kudos to Tom Tancin for writing a book that hits on a reading population that may be getting overlooked in the current YA trends. Love triangles are cool and all, but maybe not so much from a young teen boy's perspective;)

It was also refreshing to read a book about Atlantis, the world that author creates is unique. I enjoyed the main character Trey, he is a hero, who really doesn't start off wanting to be a hero. He's just a teen boy, interested in swimming and girls! But when he is introduced to his real background everything changes. Will he step up to the challenge? Read the book and find out!
