dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I have never read a story about Finfolk or Mermaid and I really liked this story. After reading this I am thinking I may need to pick up a book that focus on Mermaid’s after this.
Also Aeslin mice save the day!

Hail the arrival of the Noisy Priestess! And once again, seeing how the Healys interact with different cryptid communities is always interesting.

Oh. So that's how you write a terrifying last line. Just like that.

Love the tragic mermaids, but wow the antagonist didn't think this one through.

3.5 stars.
This is the first story where I don't really get at all where the title came from. It also didn't grab me as much as the others, though I can't say for sure why. I did like it. More worldbuilding - the lives of finfolk was fairly interesting, as was their town. Makes you wonder what's become of them in the present time. The Aeslin Mice were useful, which is nice. All in all, enjoyable.

I'm sad to say that I didn't have much use for this one.
The life cycle of cryptids in question is horribly depressing, and it felt like the entire scenario was manufactured to make Fran's demand to be part of the "adventure" while EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT a stroke of luck rather than reckless and foolhardy. #notbuyingit

Fran is again eight months pregnant, but this won't stop her to join Jonathan who's been called to a village filled with finfolk.
It was nice to see Fran and Jonathan slightly better after their tragedy. I also liked how this short story, which was rather longer than the usual stories, introduces us to species of Cryptids that I haven't met in the main series (yet). But of course, mer-people couldn't not be a part of this universe. Nice little mystery to solve for Fran and Jonathan.
