The Siren | Kiera Cass

To be the first book Kiera wrote, The Siren was amazing! I loved it all the way up to the end. The ending was okay, but it wasn‘t my fav. The ending just wasn‘t what I expected and not in a good way 😔 Other than that the story itself was well done. I‘ve never heard these type of Sirens and how made the ocean had emotions and relationships. I would definitely be interested in more books with this theme and style of Sirens.

I did not realize that this was a graphic novel until I looked it up after listening to the audiobook That certainly explains why the audiobook was so short. It was also very different hearing a graphic novel as an audiobook compared to other audiobooks. I did find it enjoyable, but probably would have rather enjoyed it more as the graphic novel.

A 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. 6d
Clare-Dragonfly The art style reminds me of Over the Garden Wall. But if no one else looks like that… 🤨 6d
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? 6d
TieDyeDude @Clare-Dragonfly Maybe I would have been more forgiving if I thought of Wirt 😋 6d
TieDyeDude @lauraisntwilder There were some really interesting aspects of the mythology, it just didn't come together well, IMO. 6d

“Fish“ was in my current read, hooray. Don't know where I'm gonna find “Portugese“, though. Cruising Libby now...

Overall, I liked this installment of the Wayward Children. In this one we get to explore the other school for children who have entered mysterious doors. The one thing I didn‘t love was the body shaming, it just felt unnecessary for the plot. 4⭐️

163 pages of words and pain from the deep. What if when enslaved, pregnant Black women who were thrown into the sea by colonizers on the Middle Passage survived, becoming merfolk? The Wajinru are these descendants, and none of them remember their story—except one. Yetu retains each painful memory of trauma and joy, and it is her responsibility to pass their history down. But, the pain of it is too much to bare. When she returns to the human ⬇️

JenniferEgnor surface, she must decide whether or not to stay in this long left behind world, or return to her people. A fascinating, beautiful story about trauma, memory, greed, and what it means to carry the weight of the world inside you.
