It occurs it to me as I type this review that I need to change a name of my shelf because sirens are not mermaids, though there is a huge about overlap in this installment.

Like all the Storyteller series, this makes excellent use of a fairy tale about music and happiness as well as what you have. Nicely done, if a bit simple.

I thought the first two books in this series were wonderful! I'm a fan of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, and was thrilled when I saw Boom! Studios had created a new series (that I still need to read). There's also a Netflix show in the works. Anyhow, Jim Henson is a fantastic storyteller, and The Storyteller: Sirens was no exception. I thought the first issue was a great retelling of The Fisherman and the Mermaid (sad and thought-provoking), while the second issue was a spin on the mythology surrounding Nuwa (super interesting and creative). Both were beautiful and well-written!
