Speechless by Madeline Freeman

4.0

Wow! This book had far more depth and nuance than I was expecting. It started with typical YA dystopian tropes but then took a turn I wasn't expecting and got really good. This book somehow captured the essence of traditional Little Mermaid stories while completely turning all the motivations and reasons around. While there was a little romance, it was not the focus as is common with these retellings.

The book did not end of a cliffhanger, but did leave many questions unanswered. I can't wait to see where the story will go next!
