The Mermaid, The Witch, and The Sea
Review:
Awww! This felt like such a modern folklore with the twists, turns, and that classic folklore feel. I liked the way it was broken up into sections and how the different perspectives ended up working really well together. I also really loved the way the book had that fairy tale feel. I liked the main characters, but it was especially interesting to read about a character who is gender fluid and what their feelings were throughout the book. It made me feel like a better person to be able to know what to do when I meet someone who is gender fluid. It was really cool how the ending was handled and how much the characters grew as people and as friends, siblings, and lovers. I am interested to see whether there will be a second book and, if there is, how will it work? The concept of the sea and all the minor storylines we encounter along the way adds depth and meaning to a story that does seem a little single-sided. There were so many cool and interesting parts that I would have never thought of. I know I already said this, but I absolutely loved the characters and how well they are written. This was a great book, and I would definitely recommend.
