I loved it and how it concluded the story, but I wanted more! I needed explanations and elaborations. Talking about the ending… that freaking last chapter is a freaking tease. Ultimately, I feel like we got the beginning of the story, pieces in the middle and the conclusion, but not in a clean flow.

I wanted evidence/scenes of the change progressing over time – little considerate things she would do or say during the journey between her “I’m heartless and evil” and “I’m human but still a f*ing badass” stages. I wanted to see Lira changing her ways not just because of Elian, but because of the rest of the crew as well. I wanted more plot concerning Lira and the Crew’s relationship (I know her and Madrid got some good page time but more with Tarik). Honest Feelings: While the plot was pretty straightforward (I mean it’s the little mermaid guys – just with a very violent Ariel and a much less basic Eric), it still kept the reader engaged. Writing: 2 POVs – Lira’s and Elian’s (#lovemultiplePOVs) Rating: 4/5 little crowns – Definitely enjoyed this book (and the audible narrators were great)! Would def re-read.Ī great simple, clear, and relatively short read that always keeps the reader engaged. One Sentence Synopsis: A retelling of the Little Mermaid with much more violence than the Disney version and less melodramatic than the Hans Christian Anderson original.įav Quote: “We are not naive little heirs to be molded as they wish. Format Read: Audiobook (so don’t rat on my spelling of names fam cuz I tried)
