It’s cute. Very cheesy, though. 

I do adore the “Little Mermaid”-y-ness of it all, but the twist was extremely easy to see coming, and I knew that Tal was in danger from growing to love Athlen from the first minute he wouldn’t confess what he’d bargained to the sea witch for his legs. 

I’m glad these boys had their happy ending. A very sweet, very whimsical, very queer fairy tale, probably best suited for middle grade readers.
