A review by candidceillie
Walking on Knives by Maya Chhabra
2.0
TW: rape, warned for before story starts, as well as questionably consensual sex near the end.
This novella was interesting. It is a f/f twist on the little mermaid, with two sea witches, which was neat. There was some great writing shown, but I think this story suffered because of how short it was.
One thing that bothered me was the way sex and physical touch was used as a bargaining piece in this novel, without any other option or discussion of the bargain. I really wish it had been explored more than the passing conversation that happened with the sea witch’s sister.
