Secrets Submerged

I am really enjoying my re-read of the Isla Emerged Series, even more so since I am listening to them. I can't say enough how wonderful this narrator is. I seriously love when a favorite series is even better the next time around.

Throwback Review (6/12/2020): Anita played a huge part in the take down of The Order. Who is she though and why was she willing to help Isla, a mermaid? How is it that she knew Eira, Isla's mother? It's time for her story.

This is why I love Novellas. Insight into other characters is something I crave when the main story captivates me. Learning who Anita was and became was heartbreaking at times and inspiring at others. She befriends her “enemy” and learns that everything she knew about merfolk was a lie. For her to see the wrong in what The Order does and realize she needed to change is inspiring. Change from within is powerful.

For Isla..she gets to know a little of her mother's story and finds the peace she craves which only strengthens her resolve to be a good ruler. She is more her mother's child than she believed.
