A Little Mermaid by Aya Ling
5.0
A Little Mermaid sparkles with magic and whimsy. It's a delightful retelling of a beloved classic with a few fun twists. For lovers of mermaids, faerie tales, and light-hearted stories, this one is sure to have you floating with fancy!
This one was such a fun tail (😉), pun intended. I have always loved mermaids, and The Little Mermaid was one of my absolute favorite Disney movies as a child. Aya did such a great job with bringing this tale back to life for me as an adult, and giving me that childhood nostalgia.
She was able to capture the essence of the Entwined Tales series by bringing in familiar characters, including our beloved Grumpy Faerie Godfather. But, she also added her own spin on things and made her author voice heard. I enjoyed her cheerful writing style and the way she brought Clio to life without her being able to speak.
Clio was so adorable. She was a love stricken teenager with a carefree life. I loved how her character changed and grew as the story went on. She was a little whiny at times, but she called herself out for it, which made me admire her even more.
I thought Aya brought joy and vividness to the tale. It had humor, charm, and happiness. It captured the heart and soul of the original tale, and kept me in a cheerful mood the entire time. If you loved the original tale, or the Disney version, you will love this one! 4.5 stars!
