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.

It's a wonderful re-imagining of the Hans Christian Anderson's version of The Little Mermaid. What I like is that it still follows this version of the events to an extent- more accurate than Disney's the little mermaid, at least.
The book is a great read for young women; teaching them that it is ok to be a woman, to love another woman, and to still be strong and independent regardless of social constraints.
What I perhaps dislike is that the man-hating is just a little too much. Yes, some men can be horrible and misogynistic. But not all men. I think there was all but one minor minor character who wasn't a brute towards females- an inaccurate representation of men if you ask me. It just seemed a little too much in my opinion.
But the story line, character development, and writing style are wonderful. :)
