Let us know your thoughts before, during, and after you read! Just be careful to hide your spoilers, or at least give a fair warning.🚨🚨🚨

Are you excited about this one??

Are you enjoying the story? Finding it well-paced or slow?

What do you think of the characters?

Are you confused about anything?

Hope so! I am hoping to start soon!


Jasmine (Jazzie) | 2883 comments As much as I'd love to join this month, I don't think I'll be able to because it's not on my Libby and my library doesn't have it 😭

That’s great, Angela! I am enjoying my 2nd time through it. The audiobook is really good, so I am mostly listening to it this time. I like that it’s connected to The Little Mermaid, but not a retelling.

Agreed! It's a pretty neat idea to see what happened generations after The Little Mermaid.

Katherine Perry | 67 comments I'm not liking the opening though. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I don't particularly like books that start off with a dream. It feels pointless. Plus I don't like all the info-dumping in Ch. 2. I feel like it would be more satisfying if the history/backstory was revealed later or throughout the story. I hope the story gets better once I get past this.

@Katherine—I don’t mind dream-openings, and I didn’t notice an info dump, which I normally do not like, so I guess it doesn’t really make sense for me to say it gets better.🤷‍♀️🤭 But I hope you think it does.😍

Guys, I finished yesterday. I forgot two things: it’s a short book, and it ends on a cliffhanger. Sorry about the cliffhanger aspect; I honestly forgot.🫣

Well, once I got past Ch. 2 I really started to get into it! I've read three chapters today, and I'm excited to keep reading! :D

🥳 That's awesome, Sharon!!
Oof, good thing I already bought the sequel. 😅

The hardcover of the second book is $5 on Amazon right now if anyone wants to buy it at this low price.

Katherine—I am so glad you are enjoying it now!😍 I am also glad you have the sequel, cause that ending is a tough one.😬

$5 is a great deal for a hardback!
