Sailor Twain: Or: The Mermaid in the Hudson by Mark Siegel

2.0

---

I liked the art a lot. The misty, creepy hudson river, the steamboat, the 1800s - it was a lovely setting. The women in this book are really pretty. Unfortunately, that's about all they are - either pretty and sexy/fuckable or pretty and evil/monstrous. I liked the mermaid mythology because mermaids were awesome, of course. Unfortunately, I did not like the storytelling and this book was unsalvageable for me. The mythology was never as in-depth as I wanted it. I kind of hated all the characters. It just didn't work for me.
