The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story follows the journey of a young mermaid princess who is willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid to gain a human soul.

The little mermaid has always been one of my favourite tales. I love the characters and the story. I feel really connected to the mermaid and understand her longing for a different life. The only thing that marked it down for me was that it was so short. It could be fleshed out a lot more. Plus the mermaids love for the prince is a little too instalove. She doesn’t really know all that much about him but is willing to give up her whole life and family for him. I do like Hans Christian Andersen’s writing, so I will definitely pick up more from this author in the future.
