It was definitely one of the better fairy tale retellings, one of the best books from the villains perspective , and the best little mermaid tail retelling. I've actually never read another little mermaid retelling but whatever. I picked this book up because of booktok and I wasn't expecting much, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how good it is. The only bad thing about it was how frequently I forgot it was set in the same world as little mermaid, and I don't like that. I would much rather be able to relate the book back to the original tale or the disney movie, but that is just my preference. I would definitely recommend this book and it also has a pretty cover which is pretty cool.
