A little summary: A 7.0 earthquake brings more than a tsunami and devastation to Yixing's coastal town. While assisting with the oil spill relief efforts, Yixing and his friends discover a strange girl buried in the muck and debris. After cleaning her off, they realize that they've rescued a nameless mermaid with an agenda of her own. "Jinyu" doesn't have much time to find her prince, get him to fall in love with her, and break her spell. Between learning to walk and dodging scientific authorities, she's going to need Yixing's help if she doesn't want to turn to sea foam.
Words from the "Librarian": I personally loved this fanfic as it is a little rare to find mermaid fanfics. I'm really obsessed with works like: Mermaid Melody, Aquamarine and The Little Mermaid. This story has the image of all three mixed into one which made me very impressed. In my personal opinion, I never thought that it was overused and copied from "The Little Mermaid" as she changes the plot from the olden years in "TLM" to the modern time (2013).
The ideas in there (which I would choose not to list so you could find out yourself) is fresh and I got astonished myself; they were special and unique. This story is defintely not the cliche and overused type and gives off a fresh and new feeling. So why not trying it?
Moving on to her characters, I could feel them in the story as she describes them extremely well with vivid descriptions and I could visualise all the scenes in my head; the images that are clear and bright.
Her updates are rather slow but they are definitely worth the wait as they are both well-written; defintely not the sort of fillers and unnecessary infomation which would bored the readers; the length of each chapters are lengthy after the wait. So, I find it acceptable and enjoy this habit by reading a few paragraphs daily.
Lastly, one thing I found very interesting was the "Green tips" she gave at the end of the chapters, another unique action to add on. The green tips are tips that could save the earth and environment, after all, every actions counts no matter how small it is. This also displays her kind character out clearly.
Check "The Siren's Cry" out and I'm sure you would enjoy it too:) Enjoy^^
