Well the little mermaid sure got dark!

I should have realised from the first book that this would be a loose look at the little mermaid......I didn't though. This is no sweet story, and the only song you'll find is a siren song luring men to their deaths.

Loss is the catalyst for The Little Morgen, both Thalliya and Ragnor experience it and are thrown together because of it.......and yet again the Gods have their hands in what unfolds.

I really liked that there are links between the first book and this but the epilogue was bittersweet for me. So I'm hoping the next book will again have links and that I'll find something nice in that link.

As with the first this is dark with a bit of passionate sex and plenty of death.

Admittedly I have never been much of a dolly fan, nothing against her but I'm not into country music. Saying that, I did go into this with an open mind.
From the moment she is on screen she comes across as very likeable and down to earth, she even makes fun of her plastic surgery which sadly has ruined her looks, but we all know it's what's inside that counts.
She's definitely passionate about her work and very political, she also seems to be a very private person. The documentary has interviews with a few big names including Kylie minogue and Jane fonda but nobody had any dirt or juicy gossip, in fact this is the only documentary I've watched so far where's there's been nothing negative about the celeb. It does leave you wanting to know more.

Hmm, I dunno how I feel. I never really connected with this series when I started reading the second book a week or so ago. It had been too long since the first and my taste in books changes pretty regularly.

I wanted them to figure out the Republic/Colonies argument but at the same time I wasn't that bothered. I didn't even read it all, I skimmed a lot of it near the end. The only thing I truly felt passionate about was that Commander Jameson had to die and I read that bit in detail.

The other thing that kinda threw me a bit was when Day woke up near the end and didn't remember some things. I felt a little cheated. Ten years? Really?

Ugh. Not sure if I'll read other books by the author at this point.
