Fins are Forever is the second and last book in this series, first book being Forgive my Fins.
After the separation preformed between Lily and Quince, our main character has no choice but to live on land with her loved one and give up on the title of Queen of Thalassinia. But since her cousin Dosinia can't keep herself out of trouble and ends up being exiled, Lily has to take on the responsability to show Doe that humans are not as bad as she might thing.
So, because I absolutely adored the first book, I was expecting this one to be just as good and entertaining, but unfortunately I enjoyed Forgive my Fins a bit more. Luckily, this one has lots of twists that kept me in the edge of my seat and the plot evolves naturally and beautifully yet on a fast pace. Eventhough it doesn't have the heart-aching romance and corkiness of the first book, the writing is still enthrallingly witty and flows very well. What stands out for me is character development. It was succedingly well done, especially when it comes to Dosinia ( I certainly didn't have that coming! ) New characters were introduced quite effortlessly and blended in pretty nicely. I loved the fact that Tellin's character shows up for a reason and brings this amazingly intricate back story with him. Quince is still my favorite character, though! Seeing Lily evolve and mature in this book was a happy surprise since I had my doubts about her. For a long period of time I though she was going to be a fool and leave everything behind!
I guess I can't really say the first book is better than this one because they are sooo diferent-- but I still enjoyed this one very much. This series is a great starter on the mermaid genre. Childs created loveable characters and a truly alluring underwater world that makes me wish there were more books in this series.
This light, corky mermaid tale is an endearingly captivating read that doesn't dissapoint. I'd especially recommend it to girls as it is the perfect sweet and bold book to read in between heavy, exausting reads.
