For a little mermaid retelling I actually really liked this. It followed the source material and then when a little further into things after surpassing the original. I liked the extension into getting the kingdoms set up to run better and I enjoyed the romantic stuff. All you can eat soup is a little silly but let’s be real- a book about merpeople doing it is generally a little silly. I think a few times I was thinking the sentence structures were a little repetitive but generally I enjoyed the vibes of this book!
