librarianlayla 's review for:

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall
5.0

I received an eARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you've been searching for an all inclusive fantasy with pirates, mermaids, witches all wrapped together with a bow made of love - then look no further!

I cannot rave about this book enough! I have been waiting for more books that have gender neutral/fluid characters in them and not only does this wonderful story deliver on that, it is diverse with it's characters races and sexualities. A true story of self discovery, overcoming adversity and the strength that one can find in the hardest of times. I really enjoyed the characters' journey's and their development. Hands down, one of the best books I've read this year so far, and I truly hope it garners the success it deserves.
