A review by mckinlay
The Little Mermaid by Metaphrog
3.0
*I received this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
I just recently read the original story of The Little Mermaid, so when I saw this, I decided to see if it was any different, or just a direct retelling with graphics. It's mostly the same, the ending is just different. Either way, I still don't think it's a great story. I just don't agree with what she does just in the hopes of MAYBE marrying this prince she saw a handful of times, but never interacted with. What you see in the Disney movie is actually watered down, obviously, and I don't even agree with that either! All that being said, the graphics in this are gorgeous. So that's why I gave it one more star than the original.
