The mermaid follows the story of a mermaid called Amelia with big dreams of the human world. She falls in love and is trying to find the balance of sea and land.
I thought it was quite slow paced and not much happened for a lot of the story.
As always, Christina Henry has such a good writing style that it made it worth finishing. Not to say some won’t love it… I know they do. It was just a bit slow for me despite it being a 300 odd page book.
I liked finding out one of the characters you meet later on , Barnum was a real person. That’s very cool.
