A review by elusorius
Little Mermaid and Other Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
3.0
Of course, everybody knows about this story.
It was a bit different from the modern adaptations, however. It was, of course, much more brutal and there was more emphasis on gaining a soul. The writing was honestly more beautiful than I expected, though the ending was a little dragged out. While it is definitely a bit deranged (she gave up her life for a guy she met once and practically assaulted him), I still think it's a classic worth reading.
3/5
