Amazing world-building, delightful characters, twists and excitement. I didn't want the story to end and seriously considered starting the book over as soon as I finished it so I could enter the world again.

Mermaids are my shit. I loved the adventure and all the different magical creatures and gods/goddesses we meet along the way. 

I can't wait to see Simi again in the next book! 
I loved this book so much I bought the  special owl crate edition and it's sooooo BEAUTIFUL
