I loved this novella. The reader gets to see what's going on underwater while Zeke is away with Chloe. The romance was also sweet but not sappy at all. Ina is my new favorite character! It's a nice break from all the violence and drama in Chloe and Zeke's life!

I liked this little story following Ina. It was a nice read that allowed us to see and understand more about dehaian world. I just can't believe these people are so fucking stubborn.

Boring
I could've done without reading that. It was kind of boring and did not know it was gonna be so short.

I did really enjoy this one but not as much as the others. This book is one of those ones in a series that is an added extra in the middle. It's in Ina's perspective after Zeke has gone off with Chloe back to land and she and her grandfather are left in the ocean.
Often people read the little side-books because they don't want to miss something important later on in the story when it's mentioned and you're sitting with the book thinking: "what on Earth? When did this happen?" and so the reader tends to read them through fear of not understanding something.
I would say that in this book, although it is still really good, there isn't anything in it that you really need to know, nothing comes up about it in the further books so you don't need to worry.
It isn't overly exciting, it's one of those side-stories that isn't particularly interesting but you are still drawn to it anyway.
So yeah, still really good and you learn a little more about Ina and their grandfather but otherwise, there isn't anything in it that you absolutely have to know in order to understand different parts of the following books.

Ina is confronted with conflicting stories and decisions to be made about what needs to be done. If that isn't enough she is also hit with romance issues that leave her groaning. This is going on while Zeke and Chloe are in Kansas.

Good novella to continue the story
It's good to catch up on what's been happening in the sea while Chloe, Noah, and Zeke are on land.
Contains a morning after sex scene and swear words (including f*** and G**).

Abide, anew beginning
It showed another aspect of he royal family at how they show their feelings and their relationships. I like to see them with others as they show off their 'humanistic' emotional side and gets things right.
