One of the easiest 5-star ratings I've given! This is one of my favorite new reads of the year, and just might be one of my new favorites of all time. I loved this story from start to finish! The characters are dynamic, the plot is riveting, and the writing itself is exciting.

From the very first page, I was completely hooked. It has all of the elements of a perfect romantasy, and a great mix of spice and story. This is a unique take on a Little Mermaid retelling, and I loved every stabby second of it! Enna is feisty and witty, and her banter and relationship with Soren are swoon-worthy.

The magic system and the world that West created were especially powerful elements, and her writing style keeps story immersive and engaging. It's easy to get lost in this book's pages in the very best way. I can't wait to explore the world further in any future stories! I'll definitely be reading everything that Liesl West writes from here on out.

NOTE: I read a review copy of this book and am sharing an honest opinion.
