4.5

Gorgeous writing that makes you succumb to the charms of both protagonists. Beautiful idea and interesting dynamics, however due to its length it lacked more depth. It reads like as a (darker) fairytale with mermaids, thiefs, magic and witches. I loved how the desire, intensity and obsession for The Lady was portrayed and, in exchange, how cold she seemed. I liked the social critique and was happy with the little reference to Laira's transgender identity and her sexuality. The ending is bittersweet but I liked the way they fought for each other. Also major respect for the artist who designed the cover because it is absolutely STUNNING and captivated me from the very beginning.
