Mermother is a contemporary, new adult fantasy that delves into mermaid lore. Mermother moves at a fast pace with Briony waking up in the tide pool and Sylvie finding her. I was surprised at how naïve Briony seemed with accepting everything that Sylvie was throwing at her and how Briony never actually tried to connect with her former life. Sylvie and the other mers still held a mysterious and dangerous air, even with Sylvie explaining certain things to Briony, the mer culture and habits were mostly unknown. I was really interested in the mers Mermother needs and how new mers are created. Briony and Sylvie's relationship through the story was tumultuous and I wonder how their differences and secrets played into their relationship. Briony's journey of acceptance into her new life was most intriguing and I'd love to see where it goes in the future.
