A review by brettmichaelorr
The Seafarer's Kiss by Julia Ember

4.0

Short, smart, and super enjoyable. I didn't know quite what to expect from this Little Mermaid retelling, but Ember has cleverly crafted a world that's partly familiar and partly new. From the intricate thought that went into mermaid physiology and diet, to the surprisingly deep character building and criticism of current misogynistic society, the whole book rests on very solid ground. With a diverse story that effortlessly expresses a bisexual character and a gender-fluid (literally, in a magical sense too) Trickster God, The Seafarer's Kiss has a little for everyone!
