simplyalexandra 's review for:

The Mermaid by Christina Henry

4.0

---

This is more historical fiction than fantasy. I enjoyed it and appreciated that it wasn't "silly" as so many mermaid books are. However, I wanted a little bit more description, I didn't feel like I understood the characters well. I would have enjoyed more of a look into Amelia's life before Barnum's show, that section was too short for me! Overall I recommend if it sounds like your cup of tea.
