This book has it all. Lots of misogyny. Murder of merpeople and humans. Environmental sea knowledge and activism. Merman and human woman sex. I took longer than intended to read because of life but towards the end I was talking to the story like why is this even happening. I enjoyed the story but truly have no idea what book two could be about. There seems to be not enough grief or at least its hard to feel it in the story the way things just keep moving forward but I guess that realistic like with covid palestine and every disaster around the world.
