Wow. I don’t know what to say.
Sophie was too much in the beginning. Too soft, too silly, too naive. Too weak.
That is how the huntsman killed her so easily. That is how her heart was taken. That is how she died.
Princess Sophie died that day, but in place of her, someone else was born. Someone who was kind, but strong. Scared, but courageous. Doubtful, but determined.
It took a long time for it to happen. It felt slow at times. It felt like she’d never change.
But she did.
Her journey changed her. It shaped her into the woman she needed to be. She was not always that way, for she was born with a soft and tender heart. But the battles we fight strengthens us. The places we go teaches us. And the lessons we learn changes us.
That is what this book teaches us. That growth is a journey, and that we are more than what we think we are.
That day, when the huntsman took out her heart, the princess died. But someone else took her place. That someone was vulnerable and innocent. That someone did not know what to do.
But that someone found her way. That someone not only saved others, but herself.
That someone is a queen. The queen.
Princess Sophie may have died, but another Sophie took her place. Queen Charlotta-Sidonia Wilhelmina Sophia of the Greenlands. The rightful heir to the throne.
The one who would take back her crown.

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed this story, it got my attention right from the start. The world was interesting to learn about. there's some mystery to it because the main character, Serefina, keeps having this weird dream and you don't know why or what exactly it means. The book opens up with her dream about the river witches trying to contact her, so from the start you're not exactly sure what's going to happen and you find out more and more as you go along. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure the book takes place from Serefina's POV, so you find out things as she's figuring them out. The downside to this book is there are a lot of new terms that you're introduced to and while it's helpful that there's a glossary in the back of the book with all the new terms, it's also very annoying to have to stop and look them up all the time. Also, the way their world is described, it doesn't feel like they're mermaids living in the sea. The way their world is described is too similar to our world, one of the mermaids even talked about her after school job working in her parents shop. I wanted it to feel more like they were living in the ocean but it just didn't to me. I still plan on continuing with this series and I can't wait to see what happens next.… (mer)

I honestly didn't know if I would finish this book. I was so close to putting it down and saying I'm done, but I only had about 90 pages left so I pushed myself to finish. What really bugged me most about this book/series (I mentioned this when I read the first book) is that it's too much like our world. This is supposed to be a MERMAID book/series, yet it resembles our world so much that if it weren't for the cover of the book, you could sometimes forget it takes place in the ocean. Some things that are in this book that are too similar to our world (and what the heck are they even doing in an underwater world anyway) are: streets, tents, glasses, cars and bikes (no joke, in one scene they found a whole bunch of treasure and among the treasure they find are a couple of cars and bicycles. WTH?), clothes, jewelry, TEA! (Again no joke, in one scene they're sitting there drinking tea! How do you drink tea when you live in the ocean? That would be some seriously salty and probably really gross tea.) All of this frustrated me so much. If I'm reading a book about mermaids I want it to feel like they actually live in the ocean NOT our world. I think the only thing they were missing was cable TV, though I haven't read the 3rd book (and definitely don't plan to) so maybe it's included in that one. Also, even though this book is considered YA, it reads more like a middle-grade series just to warn you. So with all these cons why did I still rate it a 2 stars? Well I did finish the book and usually (though not always) the books I rate 1 stars are the ones I can't even get through to finish. Plus the ending actually wasn't bad, predictable yes, but not bad and even though it kind of leaves you with a cliffhanger ending I have no interest in picking up the 3rd book, even though I own it.… (mer)
