Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 30, 2012
Mira has always felt accepted by her family and friends, but also an outsider. She is not like the others in her village - they have webbed feet and gills, while she is the only one with fiery red hair and cannot swim to save her life. She has always thought herself more human than her Mer companions, yet she isn't 100% sure she is human either.Mira sets out on an adventure to figure out who and what she really is and to find her real parents. She has always kind of known that she isn't a Mer, but also feels like she belongs with them. Something tugs at her until she finally breaks down and crosses the border into human lands. Will the old adage ring true, the grass is always greener on the other side?I'm afraid of giving away spoilers, so I won't get into too much detail. I loved how there are so many surprises in this story, some I thought might happen and others blindsided me. I love when a book can catch me like that - sometimes I think I have it all figured out and am totally wrong. It is very unique and unpredictable.This is a great dystopian book containing dashes of romance, action/adventure, fantasy and is a great story about accepting who you are and finding yourself.I am eagerly awaiting book two in this series.
