I must say it is not often that I like the second book in a series better than the first. The first one was, for the most part, piqued my curiosity. I tried so hard not to compare this version of the little mermaid to the one I knew and read as a kid. However, the sea witch is NOT who you think she is, which I think is better than Ursula in so many ways. The character development was done well in this book. I found myself constantly frustrated with most of them. In my opinion, if I am frustrated that means I am feeling a bunch of emotions and that is what I like to get from authors.

I tried to keep this review spoilers free.
