Acquire The Song Of The Sea Scripted By Arielle Pierce Contained In Version

have to say that this is the first merman love story that Ive ever read, I have to give Arielle props just for the concept and her treatment of what had to be a challenge to write.
She also figured out a way to allow mermen to have proper sex, which is something you have to wonder about!

Overall, I enjoyed the tale.
There was a mystical quality to it, partly because of the setting in Wales some time in the past and also because of the lyrical language used.
The plot is fairly straightforward, also mimicking classic fairy tales, Dylan struggles between his birthright as a creature of the sea and his life on land, particular his ties to his mother.
The man he meets is mysterious, dangerous, and wild, and hes justifiably afraid of losing himself along the ride,

Arielle does an excellent job submersing the reader into this world and the culture of the sirens, I think my only complaint is that I wanted the piece to be longer atpages this is basically a novelette.
I also really would have liked to know more about Llewellyn outside of his role as teacher and lover, Hopefully Arielle plans to expand on this world and write more lovely tales in the future!
This story was like a waltz.
In the beginning, it's like Soler's waltz marked andante con moto, or "at a walking pace with motion" with how Dylan comes to grips with his true self.
Slowly it builds, with all the new and mysterious information Llewellyn shares with him, like dancing, there's a lot of sliding and gliding and ultimately an embrace of oneself, of deciding how fast or slow the waltz would go.


In my mind, Dylan and Llewellyn underwater,



All I can say is that the narrative in this prequel was even better than the first book.
I also think it's better to read in order, This book first with Dylans story and then “In The Lonely Sea” with Dylan and Cian, The flow is there and I felt the warmth of the words like magic,



With this tale, I also became a child of the sea, . .



a gwenhidwy, Guess I complained a bit about the first book but now I see no, better: now I feel what this story can become.
It's the prequel of "In the Lonely Sea" and although it plays in the Victorianian area it feels more real than a lot of other stories I read dealing with the paranormal.
Come on, who wants to read anymore about handsome, rich vampires where even a supposed big love is nothing else than a hedonistic accessoire or virile wolfshifters who are not even bothered when treating humans as prey as long as the sex with their mate is earthshattering "The Song of the Sea" isn't that king of Hollywood, it's more almost something like a welsh myth don't get me wrong: the men here are not ugly and the sex between them is something you like to have yourself but it's the story that counts, the atmosphere between the lines, it's Dylan's developing character and his coming to terms with being a merman.


It's no MM romance hopefully: not yet and no paranormal action story either, This part is more like a coming of age story meaning being gay and not human, Dylan has still not experienced love and what it can do to you, he still don't know what it means to be a merman in all its aspects but remembering the cold creature he is at the start of "Lonely Sea" that probably is going to change soon and I'm sure Ms.
Pierce can lead him and us through those depth and maybe grant him finally a HEA in the sequal of "Lonely Sea" and answer the still remaining open questions of that part.


Looking forward to dive into the next part and hopefully it will be a bit longer because this one is really to short.

So beautifully atmospheric and descriptive,
I got a real sense of place from reading this story, The writing was just beautiful, : I really liked this story! This is the story of Dylan, a young man who discovers a great and terrible secret about himself, and has to decide how he's going to deal with that secret.
Arielle describes her settings in such loving detail, I love how

the sea itself is almost another character in the story, This review can be found at sitelinkThe Blogger Girls review site,

Living in a small Welsh village, Dylan is unaware of what his destiny holds, With no desire to follow in his fathers footsteps, hes content to become a farmer or shepherd instead of a fisherman.
That is until he meets Llewellyn, the otherworldly captain of a schooner, who ends up stirring up his life in more ways than one.
With a little help from Llewellyn, Dylan is introduced to who he really is a merman, Where he didnt care for the sea before, now it consumes him leaving Llewellyn as his rock, But when Llewellyns ready to leave and unwilling to give Dylan the one thing he asks for, he leaves Dylan broken hearted and vulnerable to the seas call.


This was a very intriguing story, Its slow at first so that the reader can get to know Dylan and watch him comes to terms with what he is.
While Dylans village considers him slow, I never once thought he was like that, In fact, he seems more quiet than anything, Hes also scared of becoming a gwenhidwy because he doesnt want to become a monster, I liked seeing Llewellyn teaching Dylan about his heritage and how to use his magic, Although we dont get to know Llewellyn all that well, his enjoyment in Dylan discovering the sea put a smile on my face.
Granted, there were a few moments when I would wonder why Llewellyn acted a certain way such as him wincing or flinching away from Dylan.
It was a little confusing,

I really liked this one but because of its length, I didnt feel like all aspects of the story was as explored as it could have been, especially when it came to the ending.
Its an HEA but at the same time, it feels very openended and left me with a lot of questions like what has Llewellyn been doing this whole time How have his feelings towards Dylan changed Why did it take him so long to find Dylan

In the end, its a quick, lyrical story filled with longing, desire and, most of all, discovery.
The descriptions based on what Dylan experienced as a merman were intriguing especially when he got lost in the seas call.
Im looking forward to reading the sequel because I really want to know more about Dylan and Llewellyn reconnecting and to see how, or if, Dylan has changed.
.Stars rounded up. I really wanted more and according to the author there is more coming, Below is a comment she made at the end,

If you enjoyed this, be sure to catch the story that set the scene for this one, sitelinkIn the Lonely Sea, which continues the story of Dylan.
It's a short story and was actually written first, which would make this story the prequel, but there will be more in the near future between Dylan, Llewellyn, Cian and Rhys! A novel is being planned that will take placenot in Walesbut in London.
Yep, mermen in Victorian London, lock up your sons!

Impatiently waiting! tapping foot Interesting story that flows like a fairytale, with an ending that doesn't necessary seem final.
Pierce has built a world around the familiar, challenging the young protagonist with questions about what he believes to be and what may be possible.
It's light but compelling reading with a few snippets of hot sex, myth, and magic, and could easily be the beginning of a series of books.

This is a short and sweet story with some memorable and intriguing characters, very light on the drama and angst which is a nice change of pace sometimes! and just begging for a sequel!.
Dylan has always been an outsider in the small Welsh fishing village he calls home, Hes smaller, weaker, twp, as the villagers would say, Found on the intertidal between land and sea as an infant, hes always been a bit lost,


Everything changes when a damaged schooner arrives in the village, spilling its crew of exotic men from all around the globe.
The handsome captain, Llewellyn, wastes no time letting Dylan in on why he feels so different,


Hes a merman,


Like calls to like, and Dylan soon learns what it is to let the siren song of the sea stir his blood.
Llewellyn offers Dylan teaching and freedom from a life hes never really belonged to, But can Llewellyn offer Dylan what he needs most of alllove Dylan was found as a baby on the intertidal, brought in and loved, cherished and cared for by parents who wanted him very much.
He is considered weaker than most of the villagers, but he does have friends, such as Rhys, He and Rhys have shared kisses and some fumbling but this is historical not sure exactly the time and this is enough to get them killed so its very secret.
Rhys wants to sneak onto a schooner docked by their port, damaged and awaiting repair, This is when Rhys and Dylan run into the mysterious Llewellyn,

Llewellyn is Other, he is markedly different from others even before he lets Dylan know why they are different.
Llewellyn comes across as cruel at times, smug almost always,
This story is the prequel to another, In the Lonely Sea,
Dylan by the end, for me, is already becoming Llewellyn and less himself, It made me sad because I had hopes that it would be different, The worldbuilding here is wonderful and the characters fleshed out, This was a bittersweet for me because the lovely man that Dylan was, who was saved by parents who wanted him so badly, had already changed.
I felt so sorry for the parents who loved him so much, Go into this with the idea that it is not a fluffy Merman story and you will be intrigued by these characters.

Blurb: When a schooner comes to Dylans small Welsh village, the handsome captain, Llewellyn, wastes no time letting Dylan in on why he feels so different.
Hes a merman. Llewellyn offers Dylan teaching and freedom from a life hes never really belonged to, But can Llewellyn offer Dylan what he needs most of alllove


A wonderful story of finding ones true self.
In Song of the Sea, Rhys and Dylan are young men who, now grown, are looking toward the horizon, And in their fishing village, one looks to sail the sea, the other is dared to look into her,
I knew after the first paragraph that I had placed Arielle Pierce, Song of the Seas author, in the same league as epic fantasy writers.
With solid, delicious sentences that make one start to unwind while reading, Song of the Sea is escapism at the highest form, .
