I feel like this either should have been longer and focused more on the sirens or left the sirens off completely (even though I loved them) because they ultimately didn't do all that much that someone else couldn't have done. Especially Afrit, I'm not sure why she even was there. In general the plotlines felt..very disjointed. I think it'd be better if it just focused on the search for Bettan.

Efa saying that "children are always a good thing" and that "bettan will turn around" about bettan being pregnant by her (basically) rapist was gross and I don't know where it came from it seemed out of character. Ninka did ask whether Bettan thinks so too but she didn't seem that bothered by it and it was just left there and the book ended a few sentences after. It was really annoying.

I love Ninka she deserves a book that focuses more on her. Considering how the siren plotline ended (“ended”) I'm hoping there might be a sequel in the plans.


Also, this is the third lesbian mermaid(or otherwise sea creature) book I read this year and I gave all of them three stars. I think overall I did like this one more than the others despite all.
