She has a certain amount of time to make the prince kiss her with true love’s kiss or she will turn to foam on the sea. She falls in love with a human prince, stares at a statue of him, and makes a bargain with the Sea Witch to trade her voice for legs. It takes place fifty years after the first book and concerns twin mermaids named Runa and Alia. This book will be confusing unless you first read Sea Witch. It’s about mermaid witches and an octopus witch and some human witches fighting the Germans and also patriarchy above and below the sea during WWI. There is romance in the story but the book is not a romance. Like Sea Witch, Rising is a hot mess, and, yet, also like Sea Witch, I just gotta have it.

Sea Witch Rising is the sequel to Sea Witch, which was a very loose retelling of The Little Mermaid with an impressive twist. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult
