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.

An adventure-filled romance starring a wonderfully diverse cast of characters! This book had a lot crammed into it, so much so that I think some things got left by the wayside โ€” the political machinations felt too obvious and fell by the wayside more often than not, the ending wrapped up far too easily, and Athlen as a character felt underdeveloped. I enjoyed my time in this world, and loved how much Tal grew as a character, but I think I'll ultimately forget about this book. It's a fun one โ€” and one I may've enjoyed more as a young adult โ€” and I'll definitely continue recommending FT Lukens! (Even if just for that absolute showstopper of a cover?!)

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.

Enjoyable book if an adventure with some gay romance is what you're looking for! Though some of the characters are fairly one dimensional (looking at you
Garrett
).

๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ 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.
