4/5 Stars

This would have been a five star read if only the beginning started out as great as it ended. This is definitely a slow burn and you have to be patient to get into the heart of the story. The twisty ending to this makes it all worth it though. It is an interesting take on an origin story for the Sea Witch and I can definitely see ties to The Little Mermaid. I look forward to reading Sea Witch Rising!
