- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
In the first book it's not that obvious too but I don't like the way this series portrays men as evil and dangerous and the language, plus some of the gendered mechanics of mermaids rubs me the wrong way.

4.5
That said, there are a few reasons I didn’t rate it a full 5 stars:
- it’s less spicy than the first book. Elisa and Riden had MUCH more action, and I was hoping this would get steamier. If anything, it’s more PG
- I got a little tired of their back and forth stubborn-ness. She had so many chances to admit her feelings, and he was all over the place. It got a bit boring in the middle.
- There is a LOT more death and gore in this one. Not that it bothered me too much, but I was surprised since the last one wasn’t nearly so bloody and gruesome.
- I thought it was weird that the whole crew was trying to force Kieran on Cerinda even though she clearly expressed that she didn’t want it, and everyone was ok with it??
