    <body><![CDATA[Interesting twist on the Little Mermaid story.  Added new elements that I'd never considered before.  I love the Once Upon a Time series because I love seeing fairy tales told another way.  The one thing I don't like about them is that they are so short.  You don't get to see a lot of character deve...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78602960">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This had the potential to be a beautiful, enchanting story.  But the author blotched it up....badly.  The beginning of the book gave hope of a good read, a sweet story.  But the writing became very VERY juvenile.  In fact, I am sure that my 9 year old could have written a better 2nd half of the book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63752449">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was alright. It's a re-telling of The Little Mermaid, but the only thing even similar between the two was that she was a mermaid. In this book, she was kidnapped, and turned human as a child so that she doesn't remember anything when she grow up. Then, I thought the ending was al...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42647160">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was a fun read.  I got into the story and loved the main characters.  I thought that the pacing was weird at the end because it seemed like everything was moving so fast.  I almost didn't have enough time to catch my breath and really figure out what happened there at the end. Still, I enjoyed re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77197077">more...</a>]]></body>

However, the characters are largely two-dimensional and even the protagonists are not well-developed.
