The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw
4.0

REALLY enjoyed this one! Wished it went on a little longer (I didn’t realize just how short it would be!) but the writing is beautiful and it was phenomenally grotesque. I wish we got to see more of the plague doctor’s and the mermaid’s relationship develop, since they seemed so in love but there wasn’t a ton of evidence to back it up. But hey, it’s a novella and the author did well with how short the story was!
