Teen graphic novel re-casting of "little Mermaid" featuring a shy goth girl and a carnivorous creature of the sea. Interesting take on mer biology (multiple fathers) and culture (violently competitive), as well as the interpretation of a magic than can give a mermaid human form without her voice. ( ) Pros: lesbian mermaid love story!, gorgeous artwork, deaf/mute characters Cons: some sad scenes, emotional abuse Fifteen year old Corinth’s boyfriend Seth is emotionally abusive. When she meets a mermaid at the beach she discovers that friendship doesn’t have to be painful. But Skylla wants to stay with Corinth, and bad things happen when mermaids transform into humans. The artwork is gorgeous. Vibrant colours, lots of curvy women. While you don’t see much of the underwater kingdom, I loved how this author represented the mother mermaid and the fathers (they’re so CUTE!). The mermaid design is all fish, with sharp teeth, webbed fingers, and various coloured skin. Corinth’s a great character who’s lack of self-esteem is being exploited by her emotionally abusive boyfriend. There’s nothing over the top in the story, just constant little episodes of negging and gaslighting. Seeing her regain confidence is a real treat. Corinth’s mother is deaf so she knows sign language. After meeting, she starts teaching Skylla all sorts of new language based things, including sign language. It’s great to see. The relationship between Skylla and Corinth is built on mutual admiration and affection, and it’s is a real pleasure watching it blossom into love. This is a fun, beautiful graphic novel that I hope a lot of people read. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
