Ice Mermaid has a stunning cover, and is short.  I wouldn’t have minded more story.  You have mythological references and of course the historic sinking of Titanic.  So sad.  I have never seen anything in historical references about black people associated with the Titanic, so that was definitely unique and the discussion about racism without saying it was interesting, and miniscule.  The love story was out of left field too.  Overall, an interesting story, but I would assume it would be best enjoyed if you read The Salt for Air series.
