 Thank you Net Galley and Hodder & Stoughton for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

This was a beautifully written YA novel based on Welsh mythology. As a mythology lover, this was such an easy read. Mer is the last diviner of water that is known of and she agrees to be part of a heist to get revenge on the Prince that stole her young life from her. I loved the character development of Mer and how the legends were weaved so cleverly into the story. I also liked how it was a slow-burned romance with bisexual representation. This was very well written, I would recommend.
