The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler
4.0
This is the story of a girl who discovers she's half-mermaid. I first encountered it years ago when it was given to a friend who does NOT like fantasy novels of ANY sort, where I read the first few chapters and I'm not sure what happened to the book after that.
The other day, I borrowed it through Overdrive, and proceeded to read the whole thing in a few hours. It wasn't bad. Held my interest, but I did skim at points. It's not my favorite mermaid interpretation that I've ever read, but it had intriguing concepts and I don't regret reading it.
My biggest annoyances have been
1. Emily treads all over my literary pet peeve, but given her unique situation in the book, I'm willing to forgive her.
2. Neptune ... loves capslock.
3. I only wanted to read this first book, but the file I got through Overdrive had the whole series.
