In the book The Deep, we met mermaids where one holds onto the memories of the the past. The past of being descendants of African women pregnant in the slave trade. BUt Yetu does not want these memories, this history of all her pod, so she leaves in the middle of the ritual where briefly all of the mermaids temporally know the history Tetu was assigned to hold.

I liked this book's concepts and even the little bit of romance Yetu was feeling towards her two-legged fisherwomen. It was short but different in how mermaids could be. it was good, at times, it was hard to understand when going through the past history of the mermaids. Overall, it is a deep short book.
