Anyone that thinks of mermaids as gentle sweet creatures will have an awakening experience after reading this book. Dark is an adjective that doesn't even begin to touch on describing it. "Foreboding" and "deliciously creepy" comes very close for us that are dyed in the wool horror fans. The whole idea is that Mermaids are young women who are being given a second chance after being hurt and tortured by human beings. Every girl mermaid Luce meets has her own horror story of how she got there...and they are indeed horrible. The things that I thought really mattered to help in understanding this story wasn't explained in this book...but may be explained in the later books... was exactly what are the "Mermaid Rules"...Who make these rules...how are they enforced...and who enforces them. The reader may not want to really learn the answers. This story is an intriguing and unusual play on the mermaid myth and it will leave you wanting to be much nicer to everyone you come in contact with. ( ) I quite enjoyed this novel about a dark mermaid community but there were some fairly mature themes in it. Parts of the book had me hooked while other aspects annoyed me. I liked how the mermaids were created, brought to the water after traumatic deaths and I also liked the imagery the author used, which was really quite haunting. However, the pacing wasn't right at times and there were too many characters to keep up with. In "Lost Voices" Porter has certainly portrayed mermaids in a totally, different light. The girls were quite evil and some of the things they did throughout the book were fairly horrific. Overall, a good read, but many questions were left unanswered. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
