Mermaid by Carolyn Turgeon
3.0
In order to keep her safe, Princess Margrethe was forced to stay at a convent at the end of the world, and to never reveal her identity until the threat to her father's kingdom is dealt with. One day, she sees a mermaid bringing a handsome man to shore to be saved...
On her eighteenth birthday, Lenia, daughter of the Sea Queen, saw the upper world for the first time, and rescued a young man, a prince, from the wreckage of a deadly storm...
Both girls who have somehow saved the prince in that one moment, are ready to sacrifice anything for his love.
Let me start by saying, I love The Little Mermaid, the Disney story more than Anderson's but I appreciate the beauty of the original as well, despite the tragic ending. So I had high expectations for this re-telling, and for the first few chapters, I was wowed. If you want to read the rest of my review, please visit: http://areadingkabocha.blogspot.com.
