Average rating3.6
Deep beneath the sea off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of being human... but at what terrible price? Hans Christian Andersen's dark original fairy tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won Louise her legions of devoted fans.

24. A book inspired by mythology, legend, or folklore
The women always get blamed. Have you noticed that? The wives are nags. The mistress is a bitch for betraying the sisterhood. And the men just fall through the cracks in between. We expect so little from our boys, don't we?
For this one a video review is coming because I have too many thoughts. I read it in just two or three days and it made me think quite a bit about our society and why we act and speak the way we do. It was not an exceptional book, but if it made me analyse our current society it is worth 4 stars for me.
