I found this book...unconvincing. I think the dialogue was mostly stilted, the relationships between the characters were pretty shallow, and I didn't see much in the way of character nuance or development in Lena, our protagonist. I was expecting a YA book when I picked it up, and Lena is definite...
I read The Mermaid’s Mirror by L.K. Madigan as part of the Mermaid Summer Reading Challenge, since who doesn’t want to read more mermaid books, right?? :D I actually managed to read it in one day because I was flying 4+ hours with added layover time. If I wasn’t stuck on a plane, I might not have ma...
It got better in the second half.. But for the most part I had a hard time continuing to read. It was slow and I just wanted them to get underwater already!
Oh, I really wanted to like this one, but in the end, I couldn’t quite manage it. I think the main problem was that the balance was off. We needed to spend more time in the underwater world and really understand the relationships there. As it was, I was completely blindsided by the conclusion of the...
~May contain possible spoilers.~I love mermaids. They're one of my favorite creatures ever. So you can imagine my excitement to read this, yes? Well that flew out the window quickly.First of all, relationships do not develop in a matter of days! Lena's other suitor does not appear till the last half...
*This review contains spoilers*Frankly, I was underwhelmed. I don't mean to be overly critical because I think that Madigan is a first time author and I give kudos to her for publishing because it takes a lot of hard work to do so. However, I had major issues with this book. As a writer I think Madi...
I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, because part of the fun of The Mermaid’s Mirror was reading along as Lena discovered the truth about herself and her family. The pacing is a bit leisurely, but that’s to allow Lena the time to work out who she is and what she wants out of life. I lov...
Thank you Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin for letting me download this on Netgalley. :)I LOVED this story! It was incredibly unique and the story seemed to weave together seamlessly. I loved Lena, and her family. Cole was freaking adorable, I always wanted a tiny little brother like him. Her father w...
Received as an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.I've probably watched the Little Mermaid a thousand times as a kid, I think it drove my parents nearly crazy. I can probably still sing along with all the songs, I was always particularly fond of Part of Your World and Under the Sea. So I was reall...
