The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

challenging dark reflective tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

"The Last Unicorn" but with gory, deep-sea mermaids. Very literary - short enough to reread and gain more from it every time, I'm sure.
