so-soThis is an intriguing idea - a space opera inspired by the little mermaid, focusing on her quest to save the sick land bound lover she gave everything up for. I quite like Ogden‘s prose, but simultaneously wanted it to be fleshed out as a novel whilst not being sure I had the gumption to read anything longer (but I‘m having A Time and reading is hard right now so that could just be me)
One I can see myself giving a second chance.
pickHumans have evolved into multiple branches in this sci-fi novella. Some live underwater, some on land. The main character had her body altered so that she could move out of the sea and become a land dweller. Her adopted tribe are facing a plague, and she seeks the help of her former best friend to find a cure.
I read this in just a few hours and really enjoyed it!
I made it almost all the way through July without buying books… Then on Thursday I arrived downtown 45 minutes too early for my hair appointment and passed the time at Book People. Does it count as “buying” if it‘s on a gift card? Lol.
Anyway, all of these live with me now 📚😆.
This is an interesting sci-fi story that is like a space-y retelling of The Little Mermaid. It was okay, but I wish it was longer! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas

🤗 Hope you can read when it's sustaining and feel okay about not reading when it's not. (I always find it difficult when people tell me they hope I can get back to reading again and I'm like... “But I just told you it's hard right now, why are you pushing me?“ -- so I hope this wish is a bit less pushy-feeling.) 3y
