I downloaded a copy of this book because it was free for the day on Amazon, and who am I to say no to free? Im going to cite this as the reason why I had no idea until a couple of chapters in that the book was about mermaids. This wasnt really a problem, though. I may be more partial to a darker shade of fantasy, but I can appreciate more lighthearted tales when theyre told well. Everblue was not told well. In fact, it was a kind of a letdown in nearly every way. The story takes place in a worldI have no idea why I wanted to read this book. I think I was totally drawn in by the cover; isn't it beautiful? And, then I realized I could get a mermaid book for ever so cheap ($.99 as an ebook on the Nook) and, well, I do love a mermaid book on the cheap.I love the setting of this book. It's so cool to think that living amongst everyday average people are merpeople and that there are gates to another world where they live and thrive with rules and cities different than our own. I also loved
I entered virgin territory when I read this book, as it was my very first mermaid book! I am SO glad that I read this one. It is so fresh, novel, and anything but banal. I absolutely loved some of the phrases used to describe various things in mer-life. I thought the characters were all adorable and lovable! I also am a fan of more than one POV. Ashlyn is a girl whose best friend's brother just happens to be Ash's crush. Finn (pun intended I am sure) is definitely a hotty! I mean, come on, blue
Everblue is an enjoyable novel about mermaids and about swimming; each sentence is witty, which makes the transition to new parts of the novel feel natural and easy.
For a book whose target audience is teenage girls, this book really hates women. The female lead, Ash, does nothing but sit and mope for the entire book. She worries about Tatchi and Fin, but does very little to discover what happens to them. This girl possesses absolutely no agency. She likes Fin, but sits and waits for him to initiate everything rather than going after him or making any indication of interest. Ash is supposed to be out heroine, yet the only time she moves the plot forward is
An enjoyable YA mermaid story!7 out of 10
