Such a captivating tail! (tale 😉
Wow! What a story! What a page-turner! I was turning those pages like mad!
Now that Blaise found out she can breathe under water, it’s clear that she’s not fully human, but she’s also not fully mermaid. She’s in between and that leaves her a bit lost. Not really belonging anywhere, not really knowing what to do. With all the rioting going on she runs and hides. But as a former member of the AML (Anti-Merfolk League) she was part of the problem. She needs to face that problem and become part of the solution. But how?
This book shows once again that hate only generates hate and is not the answer. It doesn’t solve anything, it only creates more problems.
Growing up!!!
In this installment, Blaise really gets to know more about the merpeople life and see by herself that they are not that different from the land dwellers… Blaise struggle between her duties as princess and the freedom she thinks she needs but, after spending several days with her merman crush, she realized she’s not ready to leave her life behind and gets convinced by her maid and new friend Emma, that she can really make a difference in the situation her people is going through and finally bring peace between them and the merpeople… After a succesful speech as the Atlantice Princess, she’s headed to find her hot merman and tell him about the good news but, is not Fish who is waiting for her at the tunnel … OMG, can’t wait for the next book!!!
Blaise story continue in Heiress of the Sea second book in the Little Mermaid by J.A. Armitage and Audrey Rich.
Blaise is growing and starting to see how she and the AML are really wrong about the merfolk. The more she’s getting to know Fish and learning the her mother is also a mermaid and that she can breath in the water.
But the AML is still spreading hates and the people of Atlantice is on riot. The fact that the Queen as hide the fact that she’s a mermaid is really not helping. Blaise know that’s she part responsible being a former member of the anti-mermaid league but how can she’s stop all the hatred.
As her feeling for Fish is growing she will need to make a decision and quickly. Or maybe run with him and not having to deal with all of this.
I have received an arc of this book by J.A. Armitage and looking forward for more books in this great serie.
Enjoyable next installment in the Kingdom of Fairytales series! Can’t wait for the next one.
J.A. Armitage and Audrey Rich are back with a new installment of their Little Mermaid story arc / sub-series within the overarching Kingdom of Fairytales series. I adore the overarching theme of that collection: what happens after the “happily ever after” moment in our favorite fairytales. It’s first story arc (separately reviewed), by Armitage alone, was about the Sleeping Beauty ever after and it was wonderfully superb, and this new one, which began with Queen of Mermaids (separately reviewed) is equally great. Now, in Heiress of the Sea: A Little Mermaid retelling (Kingdom of Fairytales Little Mermaid Book 2), we find Princess Blaise of Atlantice (daughter of the Little Mermaid) straddling two sides, the pro-merfolk side of her new beau Fish the merman and her former colleagues on the Anti Mermaid League, still devotee to eliminating menfolk. She’s in for a complicated ride as many merfolk aren’t exactly welcoming. It’s the makings fir a wonderful tale, though, in the hands of these two talented authors and they take it to its heights with a deliciously well written story full of adventure and thrills (and romance) that’s a total pleasure to read – and which I very happily highly recommend.
This installment leaned more towards romance than adventure, but stayed clean. That said, Blaise does some serious growing up as she starts to recognize some of the forces in both the worlds she is now part of and tries to find her place. She is learning who her true friends are and discovering enemies.
I liked how it had frequent nods to traditional Little Mermaid stories but remains its own original tale.
Part 2 of 4, it moved the story along satisfactorily and as expected, threw in a hook at the end for the next book.
