As a rare reader of anthologies, and a keen fantasy reader, reading this collection of short stories was an adventure in itself. Exploring the different faces of mermaids, this anthology doesn't shy away from crafting mystery and intrigue into its tales. It approached different subject matter in a usually effective format and did well at keeping a flow story to story. From authors who I typically devour work by in mere minutes, to authors who I'm relatively new to, the flow between the masters of the pen was easy to follow, and multiple tales were told in creative ways leaving questions unanswered or open, or concise and clear. A sweet, easy-to-read anthology with a variety of voice types and tales. Thank you Netgalley for my copy in exchange for review.
