" This is not your Disney movie mermaid. A different take on the old story. It's a love triangle worth reading! "

" I picked this up because I can't resist a good mermaid tail, I mean tale. I admit to be disappointed in the previous book I read this by this author concerning Cinderella but owing in part to the subject matter, I found this book somewhat better. This is a retelling of sorts of the classic Hand Christian Anderson story of a mermaid girl who gives it all up for the love of a prince. The chapters alternate between Lenia, the mermaid and Margrethe the princess. Lenia finds prince Christopher in the ocean drowning and turns him over to Margrethe on land. Both girls decide they can't live without Christopher and set off to be with him with Lenia arriving first minus a tail and a tongue. Christopher has a baby with Lenia but must marry Margrethe in order to unite their two kingdoms and prevent war. The last part of the book was reworked from the tragedy of the Anderson tale in order to facilitate a more happy ending. Fans of fairy tales and mermaid stories will find a lot to enjoy here. This is a recommended read. "

" Mermaid is a fun, easy read that had me up late last night, anxious to find out what would happen to Margrethe and Lenia. I only wish I had read the Hans Christian Anderson story first so I could know where this story departs from the original. "

" Didn't like it. It was a book though that kept you reading till the last page. But the ending of the book was rather disappointing from my point of view. Well, the author led the characters to a dead end in the middle of the book and composed a novel on how nobody can really be happy in the end. And it didn't even have anything to do with the character's choices! All of them brokenhearted in the end, unless you can take for a happy ending that everyone involved survived. If most of them died, it would be a fair enough dark twist to the fairytale. But instead you have a sad ending trying to look happy. And in the last paragraph of the last page leaves you feeling that everything written so far was in vain. Disappointed. "

" A story that is very much like the Little Mermaid by Disney but a little more grown up. The end is different of course and the names are changed, but overall a magical story to be enjoyed. "

" I must be girlier than I thought. This story captivated me. It really spoke to the creative, imaginative, romantic heart in me. So if you like fantasy, fairytales, and letting your inner-child out to dream of far away places and beautiful worlds where anything is possible... Give it a try. "

" A very close telling of The Little Mermaid, this adult tale adds another dimension with the likable Princess Margrethe. I thought I knew how the story would end, I was wrong. The story could have used greater depth, but it was a fun quick read. "

" I remember being 8 years old and falling in love with the Disney Version of The Little Mermaid. Reading this book took me back to that child-like wonder of being totally entranced with a fairy tale. It was beautifully written, moving, Mythic and larger than life. I loved it!!! "
