Au fin fond de l'océan, dans un monde pas si différent du nôtre, vit le peuple mer. Plusieurs communautés se partagent les eaux du monde entier, certaines en bonne entente, d'autres en conflit déclaré. Lorsque la princesse Serafina s'éveille au matin de ses fiançailles, sa première préoccupation devrait être de plaire au beau prince Mahdi, son promis. Pourtant, Serafina est hantée par un cauchemar lui annonçant le retour d'une ancienne malédiction. Ses sombres prémonitions se confirment quand un assassin frappe sa mère, la reine Isabella, d'une flèche empoisonnée. Serafina doit alors découvrir qui a commandité ce meurtre afin d'empêcher les communautés mers de s'entre-déchirer dans une guerre impitoyable. Aidée par cinq amies issues de mers exotiques, elle mettra au jour une conspiration qui dépasse leurs pires craintes.

I'm a fan of Jennifer Donnelly's other books and was really looking forward to this. I felt like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be j fiction or ya. I've seen libraries list it as both. Some of the terms seemed a little too big for junior fiction. I loved many of the puns. especially currensea! I known it's part of a series but I would have liked a little closure on some characters, mainly blu. Some parts seemed to drag but I felt like overall she built up the characters well and made a charming underwater world. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Jennifer if you see this, please no more aconyms! Seeing “fomo” in a mermaid world? I understand it's modern terminology but no.... please no.
