Mermaids Never Drown: Tales to Dive For
by Natalie C. Parker, Zoraida Córdova
Mermaids Never Drown is an anthology collection of 14 short stories about mermaids. I find it hard to review anthologies as a whole because they can vary so much from story to story.
I will say almost all of these stories were fun. There was some great queer representation throughout a lot of the stories that was nice to see. My biggest complaint is that some of the stories felt more like samplers to larger novels. I’m not left with an incomplete feeling from short story collection very often but a handful of stories just felt like they were missing the last half of the story and ended very abruptly.
I do think this was overall a fun collection and a great way to try our several different authors. Some of the stories were sweet and some were a little more sad. But if any of these authors decided to expand and turn their short story into a full length novel, I would definitely not complain.
Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book ahead of its release. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
