Dive into a world full of adventure and romance.The premise of this story was unique and interesting. I was expecting the usual mermaids like ariel with fins and beautiful unrealistic hair. Well maybe the hair stayed true, but instead of being fish like these mer people were actually more humanoid. It was actually an interesting new take on the way they usually portray them. Their world was really beautifully described and I really enjoyed learning about how this world worked. I do wish that we got to see more of it. Hopefully there will be a sequel that will allow me to return to this world.I liked getting to know the different characters and even came to love a few of them.Miranda is a calm and level headed heroine who has had a rough past. She is very kind and loving, but has been hurt too much in the past by the loss of loved ones and is afraid to open her heart to anyone else. When she is kidnapped and taken to this underwater world she doesn't waste time getting hysterical. Instead she takes action and does her best to get back to her beloved sister. I liked that she fought back and admired her courage.Marko is really frustrating and at first its easy to hate him. However, as the story progresses we get to see a bit more of his humanity and so does Miranda. Although his actions are horrendous and he should have never kidnapped Miranda you can kind of see why he did it. He was really just trying to protect his people in any way he could. He was a really intriguing character and I had a great time getting to know him.I was also very intrigued by Marko's guard Robbie. He is really kind hearted and tries to do what is right even if it goes against his king's wishes. It was easy to see how Miranda could get so close to him. He is a charming and sweet character that is hard not to love.This story is a beautiful new take on mermaids that you will not want to miss!
