Growing up the little Mermaid was my favorite story, so I wasn't really sure if I would enjoy this book. Cause nothing can reach my childhood memories right? But Maisie actually did it, she made me cry and laugh and I didn't want it to end.. Can't wait for the next tale!

3.5⭐️
This was really cute. I liked the FMC and sidekick, and I was looking for a more lightheaded fae read like this. The church element really wasn’t for me for a variety of reasons, but other than that I enjoyed it. It was what I was looking for right now.

My book was an inter-library loan and I had to return it :(

No es mi favorito de los tres que he leído, pero la historia estuvo interesante y es tan fácil de leer como los otros.
Siento que lo que le faltó a este fue el POV de Dorian, creo que eso le agregó mucho al segundo libro y este a momentos se sintió como que Maisie repetía todo lo que ya había dicho por lo mismo de que es la única que narra.
Su amistad con Podaxis es muy preciosa para mí y amo mucho a Podaxis, es un gran amigo y es demasiado lindo.
Siento que el libro estaba menos enfocado en el romance y más en el camino de Maisie (lo que irremediablemente se conectaba con el romance) y eso genuinamente me gustó mucho, ver el conflicto que tenía por cumplir con su misión o permitirse sentir me pareció algo muy interesante de leer y fue algo que lo diferenció de los otros dos (para mí)
En general son libros muy entretenidos, fáciles de leer que te hacen pasar un buen rato y por eso me gustan y están muy recomendados.

I was not really enjoying the start of this because it was really slow, but the middle and the end part were so good. I was hooked. I could not put this book down, and when say that, I mean that. When I was reading the end, I had to go pee… I kept reading. 

Maisie was such a nice character to read about. I was a little bit surprised that it was only her point of view, as the second book had dual point of view. However, I do think the story was really great anyway. I like that Maisie was a little bit wild and not that gracious. She was chaotic and she did not really listen to anyone. In some ways she was childish, but it was not an annoying thing, but rather an endearing aspect of her personality. 

I did really like the complexity of Dorian’s character. I think that maybe we didn’t get his point of view because he has a secret. (What actually happened when he killed the fae). I liked that the kill was not totally disregarded, and so was a part of who he was after it was revealed. 

I was very invested in the final scenes where Maisie is supposed to die, and then Dorian dies. I was in distress. Like I knew it couldn’t end badly, but I was still at the edge of my seat. I also liked that the mother was not completely evil and that she and Maisie could potentially get a better relationship in the future. 

My favourite character in this book was Podaxis. He was such a good friend. He was ready to give up his life and live with Nimue for Maisie. Even though the love story between him and Nadia was a small part of the story, is still made me emotional. When he finally took on his human form, despite his fear, I was screaming in excitement.
