Little Mermaid?

 I received a free copy of this book via Prolific Works in exchange for an honest review.

Sea Phantom by Sarah Zama is an odd book because it is supposed to be a Little Mermaid retelling, but it is like none of the versions I have ever read. Or at least, until the end where you meet the 'spirit' that gave her voice to the main character so that she could find her own gift. It was short and bizarre and fits all at the same time.

I wish the characters were fleshed out a bit more because I never understood any of the reasons for why they did what they did, but then it probably would not be a short story. I am conflicted about the whole thing because on the one hand, I love how different it was, but on the other, I had no clue what was going on.

4 out of 5 stars.
