Although I had a great time with this, I think it had a few issues that didn't quite make it a four star read, although I was leaning somewhat towards it for a good portion of the book. It was definitely an interesting story! Although it did contain mermaids, which usually does draw me in because I always find underwater cultures interesting to learn about (especially when they are fiercer, which this one seems to be!) I loved seeing Sereia grow into herself when she was finally taken seriously. The way her father treated her and dismissed her talents was rather sad to read about. I'm glad she was finally given the opportunity to thrive. I wish we had gotten to see a bit more of Valeria, but exploring Atlantis through a newcomer's eyes was also a wonderful experience. I'd love to see that library! The writing kept my attention well and I found myself wanting to keep going (although the Netgalley shelf app didn't always cooperate - very frustrating since I wanted to know what was going to happen next!)
I usually enjoy it when books don't focus on the romance so it feels strange saying that this one should have given more attention to it. It just kind of exists occasionally, almost feeling like an afterthought, between Sereia doing all these other awesome things and forming what feel like stronger and more important bonds with other characters. And then becomes this big, important thing that plays a massive role in where the book goes towards the end. There is such a massive character pivot and I don't fully believe it I don't quite see how we got there,.
Although we ultimately know where the story goes through the epilogue
