The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw
adventurous
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
4.5
Didn't know I needed this reimagining of The Little Mermaid, but I most certainly did! At the center of a tale dripping in blood and violent rituals of making and unmaking is a love story of sorts. Khaw continues to use beautiful prose to describe horrific - and ultimately human - things.
