 I enjoyed the book, but it left me wanting more, especially when it came to Ursula. While the story focused on Ariel, I wish there had been more depth and backstory on Ursula’s life to truly understand her transformation into the sea witch. It was an interesting take on a familiar tale, but I was left hoping for a bit more insight into the character who often steals the show. Still, a fun read.
