nocturneaeros 's review for:
Eelgrass
by Tori Curtis
The story is very interesting and the characters are compelling.
I also enjoyed how detailed the lives of the selkies, the sirens and the humans were and the complex relationships between characters.
The quiet violence selkie wives face and how both selkie and human society see and react to it was chilling and hit really close to home. It worked really well as a metaphor for violence against women.
My only complaint is that the end is very abrupt.

I was not expecting a simple happy ending given the rest of the story, but I wish we had the opportunity to see Bettan once she has healed a bit more and had been given a more certain conclusion to Efa and Ninka's romance.
That both Efa's quest and her relationship seems to have ended with the best outcome possible and yet everything feels heavy and dull made me really uncomfortable...
