Ok, my author is so good to me.
Today I have a story about becoming, a story that does things with The Little Mermaid (the Andersen tale, not the Disney) that are so-- gorgeous. Fascinating. True. I don't even -- just read it. It is just what I wanted.

Summary:
Three generations of royal daughters and sea witches.
I can be a pretty synaesthetic reader, and this story is mossy browns and greens, bone-white, salt-white and gray and tangled like hair or grass or seaweed... It's really, really evocative, and very pretty in a way that isn't safe at all.
I am so lucky.
