pickA fantasy in which merfolk are real and varied, and live alongside humans in a world half underwater. The writing is beautiful, descriptive and vivid, but also charged. The book provided a sharp, incisive exploration of institutionalized racism, the problems it can cause, and the lasting harm it does. In the end, the world is turned upside down on a wish, and I am eager to see what happens next.
pickMermaid friends, Pearl, Tooth, and Eez, are big fans of the booze they found in a shipwreck but when they run out, they decide find more on the surface. Eez casts a spell, turning them human, but none of them thought past their first drinks. Thankfully, they find a friend who helps them navigate the human world.
Wonderful queer rep and body-positive art.
pickThe town of Tiankawi is split between the humans & the fathomfolk. & revolution is brewing in the streets as Mira, captain of the guard, Nami, an exiled teen girl, & Cordelia, a sea witch, figure out how to keep the town from imploding.
An amazing read. The four POVs give such a diverse view of the town and the people. The world building was absolutely breathtaking. Ending felt a little rushed and too deus ex machina for my tastes. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickIt‘s been a while since I‘ve picked up a graphic novel. In this one 3 drunk mermaids run out of booze underwater so the sea witch gives them legs. They have to figure out how to be human and meet a bartender who is very nice and helps them out and brings them home. There are a lot of shenanigans and they need to figure out how to become mermaids again.
pickSecret magics, myths from the sea, kidnapped princes, oh my! This was a fun read, though nothing was particularly surprising about it. I loved the characters and was engaged by their plight at every stage. I didn't realize how many sisters were discussed in the book, which lead me to drawing the worst conclusions about what was coming! Overall, I would recommend this read if you love mermaids, fairytale love stories, or adventure. #LGBTQ #Merfolk
