First of all, gay mermaids... now that that's been said 😂, this is very promising start to a story about two mermaid boys falling in love. The blurb sounded really great and I'm happy to say that the actual story hasn't disappointed me so far. Despite not being packed with action and only showing us the basics of the mer world (the prophecies, different species of mer folks, how do they live ect.) there was still enough plot for it to be interesting enough ✨. 

.

I hope that in the next books we'll get to know both of the boys little bit more because I feel like right now I'm closer to Siren than to Kappa (the main character)... Not that I don't like him, but I feel kinda indifferent about him. 

.

Last but not least... The graphic side of graphic novels does a lot for the story... and this one was very nicely done. I love the color scheme! ❤️
