Danielle E. Shipley’s Top Five Post
5) Because you’ve read Books One through Five, so you already know the series just keeps getting better!
4) The Little Mermaid. Whether the Disney version is one of your all-time favorite movies, or your heart’s got a soft spot for the Hans Christian Andersen original, you’ll find this retelling is up there with the best of ‘em.
3) Edgwyn Wyle. He may not have one of the starring roles, but he’s still around and just as utterly darling as he’s been since Book Two. Go love him.
2) Nature elementals! The Sun, Moon, and winds, the Great Sea and Wilderhark Forest himself… it’s like a mythological pantheon! If you like following the exploits of Olympians, Asgardians, and their supernatural ilk, you’ll want to see what’s up with the Welkens above and their servants below. And, um, keep an eye on the local trickster, in particular. Fair warning.
1) You’ve seen the incredible cover art for the book, right? Well, the story behind it is every bit as magnicent. Trust me. Better yet, don’t. Read the book for yourself, and get swept away by wonder!

I love the retelling of fairy tales. The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite. Beautiful cover.
Retellings can be inspirational 🙂
I love the bitter-sweet orignal of the mermaid, but didn’t much care for the Disney happy ending version.
Disney definitely changes the fairy tales to suit their recipe. It works for them most of the time. 🙂
I haven’t read books 1-5, but now I want to. 🙂
Thanks, I hope you like them all 🙂
Congratulations, Danielle! The series sounds fantastic! What pretty covers too!

the cover is meh but it sounds interesting.

The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney heroine and movie. Will add this and the previous series to my TBR list.

Always loved The Little Mermaid, and the other novellas sound wonderful as well (not to mention beautiful). Congratulations to Danielle!
