The Mermaid's Mirror by L.K. Madigan

---

This is the first young adult novel I've read that is about mermaid's. I don't think it's a spoiler at all to say that this is a spoiler. Anyway, as far as mermaid's go this book had them and they were interesting creatures thats for sure.

I have to say I liked the first half of the book a bit better than the second half. This is mostly because there was a whole element of mystery and suspense for the first half so you didn't know what was going on and it just made you want to keep turning the pages.

Unfortunately, while I did like The Mermaid's Mirror I didn't think it was anything too special. It was a nice, pleasant read that didn't take me too long to read. It was entertaining but there was just nothing overly wonderful about it. It was average.

None of the characters except maybe Ani appealed to me, I just didn't find any of the characters overly appealing. Lena wasn't too bad, she just wasn't anything special.

I did feel the ending was a little rushed but it wasn't too bad an ending. I had hoped it would end a different way than it did but no, we can't always have happy endings.

If you like mermaid's and are looking for a simple and easy read then The Mermaid's Mirror is a good book to choose.
