So netgalley's description didn't mention any connection to the little mermaid at all. So i didn't know this was
Ursula's origin story.  I'm not a big disney fan so i probably wouldn't have picked it up had I seen that. or I might have enjoyed it more knowing that beforehand so that i didn't have other expectations. Once she got tentacles i realized it was an ursula villain origin story. but i still kinda hoped it wasn’t. made for a not very exciting ending plot twist. That being said, I do like the perspective showing she was a victim to just everything going completely wrong and to patriarchal bs. Though sinking an entire city is a bit much. I don't know how to feel.
 
It started out interesting and i enjoyed the first half or so. then everything just goes downhill and you're waiting for something good to happen but it never does. the ending was unsatisfying for me and I wish i'd known more of what this was going into it, but I do like the perspective. ARC review.
