This was a fantastic story about how mermaids came to be. The story itself is tragic. The mermaids came from pregnant slaves who were thrown overboard, and their babies became mermaids or rather the wajinru. One wajinru at a time is chosen to keep all the memories of their people. And it's Yetu's time.

Preston joins an exploration for La Ciudad Blanca, or the White City, in #Honduras that reportedly has riches beyond belief. What is discovered is quite amazing, with some moments of me squealing in disgust as Preston comes in close contact with reptiles and bugs.

It should be noted too that the methods used in this exploration raised a lot of controversy in the archaeology community - Preston does address this and gives his thoughts. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️Nevertheless, this is fascinating. There are chapters with really dense background, but the experience in the mountainous rainforest is edge of your seat type reading. Preston also addresses disease - there is a reason why (I won‘t spoil it!). But, his cautions of worldwide epidemics are a foreshadowing of what we experienced in 2020 (this was published in 2017). I was riveted. Highly recommended…⬇️⬇️⬇️ 2d
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ though I would also recommend reading the articles of the dissenters for their thoughts on this expedition. 2d

Bluebird I‘ve had this book on my TBR mountain for awhile and despite hearing so many good things about it, it remains unread. I think I will add to my bookspinbingo list for November so I remind myself to get to it soon! Looking forward to going down the rabbithole with this one 22h

This was a little slower than the first book. I think my biggest struggle was that if I were Hazel, I would have chosen the other guy. The love triangle needed to be expanded as it was a bit of an afterthought. The ending just left me wondering what would happen to him....

There‘s a lot packed into this short novella. Anger. Family. Love. Rage. And I was so impressed by the authors writing that kept me with this one . What I struggled with more was the lack of plot, narrative timeline and the mystical elements. Impressive for sure but also left me wanting a bit more of Ella and Kevin‘s story #booked2023

Wanted to have read at least one book by the author before I see her on 8th October in Cheltenham with Samantha Shannon. It won't be my last, as I was getting emotional at the end, even though the mother infuriated me.
