Sailor Twain: Or: The Mermaid in the Hudson by Mark Siegel

4.0

---

This is really more of a 3.5 Star read but I’m rounding up. I think that the first 75% of this graphic novel was stellar. Loved the pacing, was super intrigued by the mermaid lady. She seemed very complex. I also liked that Sailor TwAin clearly loved his wife, and clearly loved the mermaid. It’s the only cheating in a story that hasn’t bothered me. Ever. The fourth act felt incredibly rushed though, and the mermaid is magically evil and Twain spends the rest of the nov fighting her. It completely destroyed everything I initially loved.
