Men still hold power over females and are prized for their physical abilities. She knows she was born human, why does it not bother her that she eats other humans? Also, the Mer-world seems to be female-centric, with Queens or High Mothers as the supreme rulers and female Callers doing the hunting to provide food. The fact that the mer-people largely subsist on humans was very interesting, but the implications of eating humans was not really explored – especially by the protagonist Ia. I was able to easily read the story, but I think there was a lot of room for development of the Mer-world. It is very fast-paced, which is good and bad. Just so readers are aware, this a novella, not a full-length novel. The cover is very well-done and was a big influence on my decision to agree to read this book. First of all, I really want to applaud Quirky Bird for the beautiful cover they designed.
