I enjoyed this historical fantasy set in Louis XIV's court. A maid befriends a mermaid her scientific brother has caught and fights everyone with her insistence that it is an intelligent being with a soul.

Historical fantasy. Great award winning book.
reviewed The Moon and the Sun on
I really wanted to like this book. I picked it up while browsing my library's fantasy section because I thought the story sounded interesting. And it is, but I can't put my finger on the reason why I couldn't get into it. I cared just enough to not want to return it unfinished, but still had to force myself to open it up.
There were some parts where the descriptions (of people, places, and esp. the morning routine of the royals) felt repetitive and boring, but there were also parts that felt like they hadn't been fleshed out enough (e.g. Odelette/Haleed's story). There were some characters that I liked (Lucien) and I was happy with the ending.
