The characters felt flat and their relationships didn't matter to the storyline or even really provide enough for the reader to be emotionally invested, so wouldn't read if you're here for that. There were definitely some unnecessary tangents with side characters that didn't really need to be there and took away from the focus on the plot.
I loved the science-y bits and the overall scifi feel this book gave! The detail to mermaid anatomy and habits was very interesting! If you're reading it for scary killer mermaids, this book is an 11/10. The only thing I wish this book had more of was a better ending with more of a finale. The ending was extremely abrupt and short and honestly fell flat for me because there was so much build up and action towards the end!
More about what I wish I wanted from characters/plot:
