Things I Liked:
✑ A unique Little Mermaid retelling that's more of an Ursula origin story, and I am all here for that
✑ Witches = 💛
✑ Beautifully atmospheric writing with lots of interesting history woven in
✑ Childhood friends-to-lovers trope!
✑ Unexpected betrayal → the author knows what we are expecting from this well-known fairy tale and she uses that to her advantage. She turns things around in a surprising and fresh way
Things I Liked... Less:
✑ All the romances feel hollow
✑ The plot meanders and lacks urgency (very slow and deliberate pacing)
✑ Feels more like a slice-of-life story for a good portion of the book
✑ The ending was stretched out for too long. It could have ended sooner (and might have been more impactful that way)
