This book comes to confirm what I love the most about Duckie Mack's writing. Her characters are absolutely wonderful! Calder and Denver share a beautiful relationship and the way they care about each other never fails to warm my heart. This is the kind of book you read when you want to feel good about the world. 
Not everything is romance and sexy mermen. There's a vital environmental message intertwined with their history, and Calder's desire to do good beyond what is asked of him is something we should all strive to achieve. Empathy and hard work are what will save our world.
