panA steamboat captain saves an injured mermaid, but her situation isn't as innocent as it seems, and the boat's owner's promiscuity is hiding a complex secret.
What a wasted set-up!
Aside from this beautiful imprint under the dust jacket, I didn't like much about this book. The art was mostly bad, the main character looked like a muppet, and the story kinda sucked until around Page 300, but then it totally flubbed the ending. Very disappointing.
TieDyeDude Sorry to ruin the cover, but I had to show you the main character. Seriously, how do you settle on that design? And yes, he looks just like that 75% of his panels. No one else looks like a muppet, BTW. The book was also way too horny for my liking. 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly The art style reminds me of Over the Garden Wall. But if no one else looks like that… 🤨 1mo
lauraisntwilder My husband read this a long time ago and I remember thinking the cover was gorgeous. It has such a great set up! I love the idea of a freshwater mermaid. But I never bothered to read it. I guess if he'd thought it was good, he'd have suggested I read it, too? 1mo
TieDyeDude @Clare-Dragonfly Maybe I would have been more forgiving if I thought of Wirt 😋 1mo
TieDyeDude @lauraisntwilder There were some really interesting aspects of the mythology, it just didn't come together well, IMO. 1mo
