Synopsis:
Meela and Lysi have unleashed Sisiutl, legendary two-headed serpent of the Pacific Northwest. It was supposed to be an ally that would help them win the war. Instead, it has fallen under the control of King Adaro, ruler of the Pacific Ocean. If Meela and Lysi can’t stop him, Adaro will use the deadly serpent to rid the oceans of mankind.
With the American military using catastrophic weapons of their own to retaliate, Meela and Lysi must make peace between humans and merpeople before one race destroys the other. The journey will risk their lives and put their relationship to the test—but the vengeance that has been consuming Meela’s thoughts, day and night, might prove even more dangerous.
Review:
I feel like I have been waiting for this book forever.
But now that I finished it, I am left with a feeling of wanting. I wanted more out of those final pages. But the last chapter had no Meela or Lysi, it had some human character who was introduced in this book, who I couldn't care a fluff about. I understand that there needed to be a human element to the story, the way the other two books were. But I would have preferred it to be a character that I was in all the books. Unless this character was, and he was just that memorable.
This book was action packed and a lot of fun to read. The only parts that lagged for me, were Ben's chapters and the other ones where a human was the narrator. But overall, the book was really enjoyable. I liked how the story progressed. And I really liked the twist about King Adaro. I wasn't expecting that. But it does raise questions on merfolk anatomy.
I would have liked to see more of how Meela and Lysi were after the war, and how her family reconnected. Something more from that end of things. But the war ended, then it jumped ahead 10 years and ended with the human narrator who I don't remember from the previous books.
This was one of the best mermaid series' I've ever read. Sticking closer to mythology rather than the heavily sugar-coated Disney version of merpeople.
