Swimming Without a Net

The humor really makes the mermaids stand out from typical mythic portrayals. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to add levity or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The blend of humor and romance kept me hooked, but I wonder if others found the tone consistent throughout or if it shifted at times.

The story handles it lightheartedly, but I was curious if the emotional depth resonated differently with readers based on their own experiences.
