This was a fun enough creature feature, I liked the overall story, the mermaids and the research the author clearly did. It felt more 'real', in a way, than other books.
It was a little too long, though, and contained too many POV switches for me, I couldn't really connect with any of the characters. For so many POVs, the focus was too much on the story itself, so story and format didn't really fit for me. Also I hoped the scientists wouldsave the day with their science .
BUT it had pretty good autism representation, where the autistic character was not some kind of magical superpower girl nor the ridiculously socially tone-deaf comical relief, so that gives it another half star.
