review 1: This book was interesting, to be honest its the frst series i can say i didnt like the main charactor mara was such a brat it made literally want to slap some sence into her. Her poor dad hes so fricken nice and deserves a damn chance. Also i dont see whats sailors problem its not like you have that many friends why make it harder then it needs to be?! Also dono how i feel about josh one side hates him for being a coward, other side thinks hes just lost completely.but overall, not my favorite series
review 2: I enjoyed it. Mara Westray is trying to get over the loss of her mother. She is shipped off to live with her absentee father, who lives on a tiny island. What she finds is a town full of people who hate her on sight, only she doesn't understand why. So
... moreon she discovers it is because she is finfolk. She has to deal with the fact that she has been lied to her whole life, plus the fact that she has a tail. All she wants from the very beginning is to leave the island, her father and everything else behind. Can she find a home and a life among so much hate and fear? Of course, there is a love interest. I liked Josh. He was a fun character. In fact, I liked most of the characters, at least the finfolk anyway. Mara was probably my least favorite of them. It bothered me that she threw her mom's letter aside and never went back to it. She was grieving her mom's death so much, but she wasn't willing to read the last letter her mother wrote to her? She was very stubborn and selfish most of the time. I did like how she always stood up for herself and those around her. She was very thick skinned and confident and I liked that. She didn't let the bullies, even those among her "friends" get the best of her. It wasn't a very deep book as far as plot and emotion and all that, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I didn't have high expectations, so I wasn't disappointed. It was fluff and that is what I expected. less
