This was a fun, gender-swapped take on the Little Mermaid! I liked it well enough…but it wasn’t very memorable for me.
I always feel a little guilty when I start a fairytale retelling, because I know that, most likely, I’m not going to love it. The potential is there, but so often the stories turn out to be a little too predictable. The Silent Prince was pretty much par for the course in that respect.

One thing I did really enjoy about this story was all the differences it showed between humans and merpeople. Watching Kaerius go through that learning experience was quite entertaining at times!
