Wizards are not just the masculine word for witch. Something that bugged me throughout is that there was a boy who called himself a wizard, while the girls were witches. Seeing as these two things were my favourite things from the last book, it was disappointing to see that they weren’t here in this one.
In the first book there tended to have to be an exchange or amplifier or some sort, which did not hold true for the whole of this book. The magic system seemed to be a lot less strict as well. One element from the first book that I really enjoyed, the flashbacks and their unique povs, were absent. I didn’t enjoy this as much as I did the first one.
Like the previous book, this takes more from the original story than it does from the Disney version. This is a retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid, following on from the previous book which provided a backstory for the sea witch.
