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.

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 only complaint that U gave about this book, is that I found the start way too fast for me. Like 20 things happened in the first few pages. But I absolutely loved this book!!! The relationship between all the characters and how mysterious it is was just amazing.

The romance between Tal and Athlen was so good, the way Tal was so obsessed with him when he barely knew anything about him, the way that Athlen wasn't scared for Tal's magic, their overall relationship was just really nice to read. The relationship Tal has with his family is so so sweet, I love Garrett and Kest, how they were so heartbroken when Tal was kidnapped absolutely killed me. The whole kidnapping scene was so hard to read since it was all so sad. The amount of trauma that he experienced, especially his sickness, I found it really good how that was portrayed. How he hated his magic but he used it for Athlen was such a good way to convey their relationship.

I really loved this book!! The (other) only thing, is that I want a second one!-

🧜🏼‍♂️ 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.
