Waves Breaking Over Ys: A Little Mermaid Retelling

I thoroughly enjoyed this fairy tale retelling!

While it's not a saga of epic proportions like Matt's other series in the Eschaton Cycle, it fits very well in that universe, and if you've read other Eschaton books, you'll feel right at home.

I found the interwoven story arcs, past and present, meshed well, but what I enjoyed most was Lí Ban's (sometimes hilarious) perspective on human life. Hers is almost literally a fish-out-of-water story, and she looked at everything with so much wonder and enthusiasm, which was a refreshing counterpoint to the darker aspects of this fairy tale.

Next, please? :)
