First of all, this book has harmful nonbinary rep!!!!!! Take a look at this review if you want to know more about it (warning for heavy spoilers) http://daxmurray.com/blog/review-the-seafarers-kiss/
All the chit chat about not being like the other girls and the tentacle porn really got to me. It was short and kind of a fast read, but I can't give it more than 2 stars

DIDN'T REALIZE THIS HAD A SEQUEL, THANKS GOODREADS!
What if The Little Mermaid was vikings, but also gay?
I rather enjoyed it, and it's twists on the classic made it not a bore, good book!

An interesting take on the story of the little mermaid, a quick read especially if you're searching for new folklore and fairy tales.

what the hell was all that not-like-other-girls-protag that's hated by all the other girls, bc obv it's how it goes (that's a huge pet peeve of mine), and who's manipulated by her best friend, bc we can't have one (1) good m/f friendship w/o it escalating into some petty one-sided crush?
the main romance was super unconvincing and it just fell flat as the "love interest" wasn't even present half of the time (gotta admit tho, in the first half they did have some cute moments). also, the super unnecessary violence outbreak at their reunion, tf was that? overall, i didn't care for any of the characters at all. i had some issues with the infertile-women-as-broken narrative and generally, i had such huge hopes for that book (f/f little mermaid retelling, are you kidding me, it sounded awesome) but i was left really disappointed. the only character i had any interest towards was loki, but they went too easily in a way? idk.
