This is a very romance-heavy romantasy. Due to my personal reading preferences, I wish it was longer and more time had been given to development of the political and magic systems.
There are some big skips in logic, plot holes, and a very simple solution to the big problem that the book ends on,
That being said, I really enjoyed this book and will be reading the next one. This is a wild ride and a sweet romance in a fantasy setting turn your brain off & enjoy

Don't read if you are sensitive to Stockholm syndrome. MC is forced to become a courtesan/prostitute, is ultimately never sexually assaulted but it is a very real possibility and there are multiple "close calls"zoloft_lesbian's review against another edition

For those who don't care for that, it's a solid reading.
The world building is cool and fascinating, but wasted on the romance plot.

It only get worse from there with the princess
There's a side character that I actually rather like, and seems to be based off of a Tiefling from D&D; at least that is definitely how I viewed her. She is the only voice of reason in this story, and even says this to the princess, "
There was one point where I was very close to DNFing this book. The story takes a very stereotypical turn when
With all of this happening, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the writting. I did encounter several typos, but nothing that really took my out of the story. The actual romance between the mermaid and princess was also cute, but I had to ignore everything that had previously happened to enjoy it. I was also intrigued by the politics between countries and their dieties, and felt invested in the story. This is why I feel so conflicted, and will not be giving this a rating.
