I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for this spiffy collection of fairy tale retellings!  In this post, I'm specifically reviewing the story "Tears of the Sea" by Savannah Jezowski, but I intend to read the rest of the collection and review it as a whole eventually, so watch for that in a few weeks.

The official synopsis of "Tears of the Sea" is:  When Le Rae indulges her fascination with the forbidden sand walkers, she discovers more than danger in the shallow waters.  So right away, you know this is a Little Mermaid story, right?  

Truth be told, I don't much care for the Disney movie, and the original story by Hans Christian Anderson is a little too fatalistic for my taste too.  But I reeeeeeeally liked "Tears of the Sea" because of the ways Jezowski changed the story!  The mermaid girl is still obsessed with humans, but not in a romantic way.  And Jezowski added this merman character, Selken, who was pretty darn fabulous.  All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and am excited to read the rest of the stories here.
