This book was great until the end when it fell into the kill your gays trope and pretended it had found a fantasy loop hole. Personally the ending really let me down and I have to drop the score accordingly.

Pirates and mermaids are everything I love in life, and this book has both, so I guess my rating is not too impartial. But besides my life-long obsession with the sea, the book is well written, the world building is very interesting and the cast of chats has so much to offer. I’m locating the sequel as I write so I may delve deeper into this universe.

"And although she cannot say what memory she no longer holds, she knows something is gone. What pain it is, to know a memory is gone but not what it is."

"So it always was, that good men should pay the price for the bad."

"He was so hungry, despite the feast that has been his whole life." 

Our May book club pick -- can't go wrong with mermaids and LBGTQ+ rep! I highly enjoyed this one.
