Irish Mythology and Classic Fairytales mix in this retelling of the beloved classic, the Little Mermaid.

A Little Mermaid Retelling

Bride of the Sea

Not my favorite of this series. Not as compelling as the first four. Manus’ behavior specifically irked me throughout. Also this is maybe nit picky of me but it bothered me that the author states a lot that this takes place in Ireland but chooses to use phrases from both the Irish language and Scots Gaelic indiscriminately as if they’re not different languages. Not the biggest deal in the world but as someone who studies Irish I definitely noticed. On the whole I was left a bit disappointed by this installment in the series.

This retelling of a classic had me dying for more. Saoirse, a mermaid is being forced to choose a husband, but when she refuses, her father chooses for her. When Saoirse saves the life of Manus, a human, their worlds suddenly collide. Both Manus and Saoirse plan to use the other to escape their current lives, but fate has other plans.

Emma Hamm has splashed her way into my heart with this book. I absolutely adored this retelling and the twists she threw in. I am so excited to jump into her other books. Because if they are half as good as this one, I know I am going to love rest of The Otherworld.

If you like mermaids, love, and the open sea than this book is definitely for you. It has all you could want in a book, drama, love, and amazing characters. Saoirse will have you wrapped around her tail in no time.
