My favourite book by Jackson Pearce so far. This was such a lovely read.

Challenge: Read a book with a one-word title

I wasn't blown away by Pearce's previous novel but I still enjoyed it. This one, on the other hand, was a major improvement, in my opinion, from Sweetly. The characters seemed very real, even if some of them were mystical creatures.

The three main characters had the same objective in life, to become their own self, but the three of them went about it in different ways and I really enjoyed reading about it. Although there were three different POVS in this book, telling characters apart was not issue.

Again I really appreciated the descriptions of the town and, especially, of the underwater world. But overall, I think the strongest point has to be the characters and their struggles. I'm glad that the romantic aspect wasn't an issue this time around and I actually liked a lot the romantic interest.


I really want to read the other books in the series because there are some references that I didn't fully understand and I think knowing everything might have made the reading experience better.

I've been wanting to read this book for a while. The wit was not disappointing. If you love fairytale retellings and don't mind things getting a little dark, this is the book for you.
