About this listen
Anger. Betrayal. Exile. Isla always knew she would be queen. One day. But after the death of her mother, matriarch of the Southern Pacific merfolk kingdom, that day grew much closer than she was prepared for. Worse, to become a mermaid queen, she must marry. It is the only way to protect her kingdom. Forcibly betrothed to her childhood friend and father’s fiercest warrior, Isla is desperate for an escape - no matter the cost. But until she marries, her father is filled with a power his body cannot handle, and his control is steadily slipping. After an explosive fight with her father, Isla flees to the surface, only to find herself in the middle of a violent storm with two choices: Swim to safety or save the human man she sees drowning in the tumultuous waves. Her decision will change her life, as well as her kingdom, forever. A story inspired by The Little Mermaid like you’ve never seen before.

The stage is set for Isla to become Queen of her people, but that would mean she’d have to marry. Not wanting to enter into an arranged marriage, Isla makes some decisions that could ultimately lead to the end of her kingdom.
I thoroughly enjoyed Deidre Sequeira’s spin on a classic tale. It was great to see Isla grow into the strong female character she was always meant to be.
Talon David’s narration was very well done. The characters personalities shown through and the story was brought to life.

There's a high creepy factor involved, as far as what the humans plans for the mermaids, but it's implied rather than depicted on page.
Talon David did a great job of bringing the story to life, and her voices for all the different characters were consistent throughout.

Parents- PG13 good for middle grade readers to adults
Language- not a lot, much less then Harry Potter and no f-bombs
Violence- normal to genre, laboratory testing on mermaids -> plans for them were disturbing but not super detailed, does show teenage rebellion and parental conflicts
Sexual Content- forced marriage-> magic passes upon consummation of marriage, allusions to men giving sperm samples, no real romantic interactions, not even kissing scenes and there were also no bedroom scenes, it's really pretty clean other then a few alluded to discussions.
The narrator did a fantastic job with the differentiation and acting skills. I did like it better at 1.25x speed but I do tend to listen to many books a bit faster.
