The Sapphire of Poseidon – My Review!!
I read and reviewed the first three books of the Scepter Series by Scott L Collins. When he released The Sapphire of Poseidon (Scepter #4) it immediately went on the TBR list. I’ve finally got to it and I’m glad I did! Read on for my review!
Synopsis (from the author):
With the Emerald and Ruby now reunited with the Scepter of Harmony, the rebellious group of children intent on overthrowing the malevolent King Argyle must face a new challenge: recovering the Sapphire of Poseidon. In order for the full power of the Scepter to be restored, the jewel must be inserted back into the staff.
With Argyle now at war with Queen Kyrie, and his ships scouting the lake to locate her, as well as the realm of the Merfolk, the small band of insurgents must find a way to cross the Great Lake while avoiding not only Argyle’s fleet, but the kraken he’s released in an attempt to draw the Queen of the Lake into battle.
Time is running short as Argyle is sure to figure out their plans for bringing together all the pieces of the Scepter. Once he does, it’ll be a race to recover the remaining gems, and if Argyle finds one first, the fight, and the kingdom, will be lost forever.
What I liked about The Sapphire of Poseidon:
As with the other books in the series, following the cast of characters on their adventures is like renewing old friendships. Daniel and his friends travel to recover the Sapphire of Poseidon. Along the way, they make new friends and reunite with old companions. The story is excellent, King Argyle continues to be sufficiently evil, and our heroes’ abilities continue to grow. All in all, The Sapphire of Poseidon is a wonderful addition to the series!
What I didn’t like about The Sapphire of Poseidon:
Other than a couple of slow spots, there really wasn’t much to dislike about this one!
Overall impression:
The Sapphire of Poseidon (Scepter #4) is an excellent book! With familiar characters, plenty of action, budding romance, and the evil King Argyle, it kept me entertained! I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good YA fantasy adventure!
My rating:
5 Stars

My son found a rock in our yard and took it to school for his teacher to look at. She said that it is in fact a Georgia volcanic rock from long ago. Is that possible? What should I do with the rock? Paperweight?
Hi Candie! It is quite possible that it is a volcanic Georgia rock. While the Cumberland Plateau isn’t a volcanic site, we find obsidian in Northeast GA quite often. Not quite the volcanic glass like you find in other places,, but still beautiful in its own way. Depending on how big the rock is, it could be a paperweight or you could get it cut into slabs and have it made into a cabochon or something like that.
