I think my issue with Lukens’ stories is that they have cute/fun characters and interesting premises but are executed poorly

Next to nothing surprised me, the romance was sweet but incredibly mild

If you want a fun, adventurous, queer,
mermaid (merman in this case)
fantasy story, this should hit the spot. It did for me! I loved these characters and, for a change, actually wished this was a series so I could have more time with them in this world. The writing style was straightforward and immersive, so it was easy to breeze through. It definitely fits the parameters of a YA book, but I found it very enjoyable as an adult reader. I'm really glad I picked this up, I had bought it because my local bookstore had a signed copy and I liked the colorful cover.

The plot was fantastic and had me gripped, although I was disappointed by the ending (
was very ready to be devastated, and sad I didn’t get that
). The writing was fine, but definitely not the highlight. 
Loved the yearning, alongside the adorable-ness of the crushes, had me kicking my feet and giggling.

There needs to be more LGBTQ+ fantasy novels! This is a great one shot for anyone who is looking for something fantastical, tense, and a cute and, more importantly, HEALTHY relationship in a book. I don't think I have any other complaints. I don't really consider myself obsessed with the book, I just found it very enjoyable! I recommend this book.

🧜🏼‍♂️ The Gay Little Mermaid

This was absolutely adorable.  It was enchanting and adventurous all the while being wholesome and tense at times. 

The characters were detailed and lovable.  I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this book, the plot and setting made this high fantasy all the more enjoyable.

There were The Little Mermaid vibes but gayer and much more interesting with the magic.  It was really cute.

It's a cute and quick read. The plot is quite predictable, but the characters are likeable. The resolution of the main conflicts could've used some more refinement.
