Felix...The world is a scary, evil place," she said softly. "There are so many of us hiding in plain sight. People won't let us be here unless we make it clear we're here to stay. Do you get what I'm saying?"

Thomas nodded. "Yes, but I'm not brave enough."

"You're very brave. You're still here, and that's all it takes."

I knew when I got this book I would enjoy it so it's really refreshing to have that confirmed!

A Song in the Dark is about our main character Thomas who has been sent on a mission by the god of the ocean to help save the mermaids. Unfortunately, Thomas has been sent on this mission during the lowest part of his life while he is struggling to find who he is and how he fits into the world. Through his adventure he meets new people who quickly become friends and help him open up about himself and how he sees the world.

I really enjoyed how the story was written because we got information we needed right when it was important to have and it really helped shape the story so we could see everything through Thomas's eyes but also have that secret insight of a reader. I found this story very engaging and I loved getting to know the characters. The friendship was my favorite part of this book and how supportive and loving the group is.

I disconnected from the ending a little bit because it felt a little abrupt but honestly I think it ended how it needed to and I am looking forward to the next book.

Overall, this was a great adventure and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a found family, coming into your true self, fantasy adventure!
