Sea of Sorrow

De: Moriah Chavis

Narrado por: Kasey Miracle

The mermaid queen is dying, and Kiera’s in line for the crown.

When Kiera left her life in Marmor, the underground mermaid queendom located in the Bermuda Triangle, she forwent her tail and traded it for legs. Now, engaged to the man of her dreams, the sea calls with news that threatens to turn the tide.

Kiera doesn’t want to give up the life she’s created for herself, but her mother’s illness draws her back to the sea of grief and to the world she left behind.

She’s forced to decide which is stronger: her inheritance in the sea or her new life on land.

Mixed feelings

Possible spoilers. I’ll try to be vague, but the plot may come through anyway.

I'm conflicted on this one. I’m not sure if I liked this story or not. It held my attention and the world and characters were interesting (not sure if the author has other stories set in this world), but I am baffled by the choice the MC made. The narrative does not provide a compelling or convincing reason why the MC pivots the way she does. She just . . . does. It felt like it came out of the blue (maybe being a short story contributed to that). Even more, once the MC made her choice, she doesn’t seem to care at all about the option she didn’t choose, even though everything that came before suggested otherwise.

The narration was well done.

I received a free Audible audio review copy in exchange for my honest review.
