This was such a beautiful and quick read!! Although I haven't read *too* many books with Merpeople, this is now a favorite!

I was impressed by how Mariella Hunt was able to create so many different lovable characters. Even one I thought I wouldn't like at the beginning based on how the story started ended up to be such a sympathetic character. My heart hurt for Meredith, and I am desperate to know more of her story.

Rose and Peter had such as beautiful, wholesome relationship - I loved the romance and how it overcame hardships. The book also did a great job of addressing real problems of racism and oppression among these groups.

I really wanted some Merpeople-action (lol) and I cannot wait for the next books in hopes of seeing more of their lifestyle!

Thank you so much to the author for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
