On Lily Sanderson's eighteenth birthday she'll become just a girl—still a mergirl, true, but signing the renunciation will ink Princess Waterlily of Thalassinia out of existence. That leaves plain old Lily living on land, dating the boy she loves, and trying to master this being-human thing once and for all.
Now that Lily and Quince are together, mer bond or not, she's almost content to give up her place in the royal succession of Thalassinia. But just when she thinks she has everything figured out, the waves start to get rough. Lily's father sends a certain whirlpool-stirring cousin to stay with her on land. What did Doe do to get herself exiled from Thalassinia and stuck in terraped form, when everyone knows how much she hates humans? And why why why is she batting her eyelashes at Lily's former crush, Brody?
The seafoam on the raging surf comes when a merboy from Lily's past shows up—Tellin asks Lily for something that clouds her view of the horizon. There's a future with Quince on land, her loyalty to the kingdom in the sea, and Lily tossing on the waves in the middle. Will she find a way to reconcile her love, her duty, and her own dreams?
My Review:
I enjoyed this book so much! It was so entertaining, and it was short, so things happened quickly, and it was light, but it was different from the first-there was less romance, and more focus on the political stuff, but change is good!
I just loved that Lily was doing what she thought best, that she wasn't the best candidate to be princess, and eventually, Queen, and does steps to take herself out of that. But it doesn't work very well, what between Dos and Tellin.
Dos was a bit unbelievable. I mean, she got exiled even though she hates the land, and yeah, her actions reflect her emotions-including the point where she brings in Brody into the whole mer thing! Which violates them keeping stuff secret!
So I really enjoyed this book and how it wrapped up, it was entertaining, and creative, and yeah, we got Lily and Quince together, which is just so much fun! Especially since she thought he wasn't for her, but it turns out, he is!
This was a really good, fantastic book, really enjoyed it, can't wait to read more!
