The first few chapters were a little slow. They focused mostly on characters and describing the town. While being “slower,” they weren’t boring. You could see and hear the town thanks to Moore’s descriptions. You also quickly knew the townspeople.
The story then starts to pick up as Quint meets the mermaid. I enjoyed the banter between the two. I also like the character Mani. You can’t help but love his energetic personality. You can quickly see a friendship/possible “father-son” relationship form between the two. Right now, it is a mentor-trainee relationship, but you can see hints that it might grow.
The book is defiantly a cozy. It is a great before bed read, or one you can read after a long day at work/school. You feel like you’re going on a peaceful walk. You can “watch the birds” and “smell the roses” without feeling like you have to be somewhere or that some wild animal is going to attack you.
Son of a Sailor by Marshall J. Moore can be purchased on Amazon or read for free on Kindle Unlimited.
Until the next wormhole…thanks for reading!
