Emel Kay has created an unusual and exotic book that fuses contemporary realities with
Hawaiian mythology and legend.
At times confusing, but always action packed, this book will make anyone curious about
the Hawaiian culture. The author is gracious enough to provide a pronunciation guide for
Hawaiian names and also provides a glossary of Hawaiian slang.
For those with no knowledge of Hawaiian gods, I would recommend familiarizing yourself
with their names and attributes or you might soon find yourself scratching your head as
you try to figure out the hidden meanings in the storyline.
Overall, this story provides a vast array of characters unlike any you've encountered
before. Put those characters in a magical setting, like Hawaii, and you've got a dreamy,
unique and mesmerizing story.
