![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also love a good retelling of The Little Mermaid, one that doesn't necessarily follow the Disney version, but is closer to the original, which is darker and grittier. Or what about mermaids who become humans and there are no repercussions? They can talk like a human, walk like a human, no pain, no suffering. It always pushes the limits of my disbelief when a mermaid who knows nothing about humans and hasn't studied them, but comes out of the water on her 16th birthday able to speak and write in the human tongue, drive a car and know the rules of the world, be super up on fashion, etc. I've consistently stated that I tend to prefer the versions where there is a little more "beast" in the mermaid/siren, since they aren't really human. Lately, there has been a lot of chatter over mermaid novels and what makes a good one. ![]()
