One Reviewer Notes
“This book is so mesmerizing! Certain scenes were so riveting that I could hardly bear to close my eyes. There were also really touching moments which almost made me cry… it is so poignant how much family members care for each other. It’s just as miserable and just as wonderful as real families. I felt like I was right there in the action, holding my breath and hoping everything would work out for the best.
The characters are so real, nuanced, and relatable. Arguments between them get so dramatic and intense that it hurts to read it. Princess Aazuria is very refined and formal, commanding respect, while the warrior Visola is aggressive, crazy, and totally lovable. Captain Trevain Murphy is someone you will admire and pity, love and hate, but he is someone you will understand above all.
The take on the mermaid myth is very interesting, and has a bit of a sci-fi spin on it. They are not magical creatures, they are human beings with genetic mutations who have lived separate from land societies for centuries. The differences between “them” and “us” and trying to determine whether they are human or not makes for an excellent vehicle for examining issues of identity. The mermaids have trouble defining themselves because of the complexity of their similarities and differences with the humans who live on land.
This was a fascinating, totally enthralling read, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series”
