I have been craving another good mermaid/deep ocean tale, so when I came across The Ferryman and the Sea Witch, I knew I had to read it. As the title implies, this is a tale of legend, lore, queens, responsibilities, and war. In other words, it’s perfect.
Two nations are at war. Between them is merrow’s trench – a sea full of mermaids. As with many creatures, they are willing to provide aid – for a price. The price of the sea witch may come at quite the cost, so be careful what you ask for.
Holy cow. It feels like an understatement to call The Ferryman and the Sea Witch a brilliant read. I loved every second of this book! There were so many surprises – all of which I welcomed. I loved the dark take on sea witches/mermaids, especially with the concept of bargaining. It felt very fae to me, which is not something I expected to see in a mermaid story, but it actually fits quite well.
What I wouldn’t give to go back in time and read The Ferryman and the Sea Witch for the first time (again). Please pick up The Ferryman and the Sea Witch if you get the chance. It’s worth the read.
