This story is incredible!!

I really enjoyed how deeply you've considered the world and how you've used common mermaid/siren tropes to create something modern and exciting. Even down to the sex, filled with nautical metaphors and sea people customs.

I was not expecting a horny story to move me to tears today 😊👌

Five stars from me! Such lovely language! However I did feel it jarring when the word cock to turn up near the end.

One word... Outfrigginstanding. ( okay so I may have exaggerated a little bit but you get my drift).

Ah, our splendid Patinaed Penny

I've spent years under water and yet more on the ocean.

I'm moved and pleased and offer another ovation.

You crafted a tale of wonder, curiosity, exploration, danger, romance and gratitude; I can't think of reading something so well-told in this exact manner for quite some time (and not because it was a happy ending, either). You rushed nothing, arranged circumstances both plausible and natural to aid this human-mermaid romance along, and impressed readers (beyond the story Elders) with its charm.

You earned a well-deserved 5. :)

Loved the story and it's telling. Your writing is excellent. For me it ended a little to soon. If the plan is to continue, then stop reading.

I would have loved at least an epilogue. I realize the intention is to have the reader fill in their own happily ever after. But the ending is sort of left me wondering if maybe a page had been lost.

How can this be worth a mere five stars?

Inspirational. I dropped a mermaid character from a story I wrote over the summer. This tale makes me want to mold the cut scene into a story of its own. Thanks for setting such a high standard.

Wonderful creation of another civilization and the legged-human interactions.

If you're not writing professionally, you should consider it. Your Cordelia series is as good as anything I have read by professional writers.
