The Surface Breaks: A Reimagining of The Little Mermaid by Louise O'Neill

2.0

I see what the author was going for, but I don't think it was successfully executed. The first half of building up the Sea Kingdom was pretty good and did a better job of showing rather than telling, while the second half was the opposite and did a ton of info dumping. The main character didn't seem to learn anything until the last minute. Everything seemed to happen at the last minute.
