A enjoyable and kind of experimental mermaid story. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it as I am still not over that ending. I enjoyed a lot about it and I'm just annoyed that I read it so late because I should be shouting about Lorali and how good it is.

I usually enjoy a mermaid book, but there was something about the mixture of the drab UK setting, the weirdly jarring poetic writing and the less than believable romance that made this more of a miss than a hit for me. Some people will definitely love it though!

Unfortunately this one really didn't work for me - Dockrill's writing is poetic, but I found it hard to get to grips with the story while the narration of the sea, in particular, bored me. A miss.

I am not going to be reviewing this book, but thank you for the approval.

An inventive, if a little confusing, effort that could only have come from Laura Dockrill. It plays with prose, gender, expectations and storytelling in the style of Jenny Valentine or Hayley Long, but it was a little too surreal and became difficult to invest in. I wanted to like it but found it just didn't work for me.
