Bookseller recommendation

“This is a tale for those who are curious about how the Sea Witch came to barter merpeople's voices in return for making them human for a short time to find true love. It's all about her own experiences in the human world and about the magic that ended in her becoming the Sea Witch. Full of enchantments, acts of revenge and love, it will become an instant favorite.”

“Set in a small fishing town, we follow a young witch named Evie four years after she loses her dearest friend Anna in a tragic accident. Ever since then, Evie has felt like an outsider within her community, especially since magic is outlawed and the only person who knows Evie is a witch is her crazy aunt. One day a strange girl shows up and looks exactly like Anna (and also happens to be a mermaid), hoping to win the heart of Evie's best friend, Prince Nik. This dark retelling of a beloved tale will bring to life an untold story of one of Disney's most formidable villains.”

“Here is a beautiful tale that blends and twists the unique elements of an origin story and a retelling into one. While Henning’s novel subtly incorporates many elements from Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid," she twists and molds these details into new shapes that form a story that takes on a life of its own and sweetly whispers notes of love, betrayal, and tragedy into your ear. This book completely took me by surprise in the best way possible. The story builds upon itself getting better and better without losing momentum until it ends with a beautiful crash of everything falling into place at the end. I loved the story and while it broke my heart I can only praise how it was done. The way the chapters bounced back and forth with the time line to slowly reveal things was so good! There is a certain moment that will make it impossible for you to stop reading or listening and I can’t wait for it to find you. This review is for the audiobook edition on Libro.fm, for which the narrator, Billie Fulford-Brown, did a splendid job.”

Summary
About the author

Wicked meets ""The Little Mermaid"" in the captivating origin story of the sea's most iconic villainess, perfect for fans of Heartless and Dorothy Must Die.

Ever since her best friend Anna died, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. Hiding her talents, mourning her loss, drowning in her guilt.

Then a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears on the shore, and the two girls catch the eyes of two charming princes. Suddenly Evie feels like she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.

But magic isn’t kind, and her new friend harbors secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad—or on two legs—without Evie’s help. And when Evie reaches deep into the power of her magic to save her friend’s humanity—and her prince’s heart—she discovers, too late, what she’s bargained away.
