Midnight Pearls by Debbie Viguie is a “happy ever after” story based on the Little Mermaid fairytale. While it was a quick. light read, I’m afraid I will remember this one more for it’s pretty cover than for it’s story content. A fisherman pulls a child from the sea, he and his wife call her Pearl and raise her as their own. She never fits in and always wonders where she came from. Meanwhile her best friend is Prince James who sneaks away from the castle to be with the fisherman’s daughter. As they reach marriage age, their parents are urging them to find someone, and just as it looks like they will turn to each other, two more people enter the story and add complications. This along with a murder plot by James’s evil uncle and cousin in their bid to overtake the throne, leads the four young people to eventually discover who they are meant to be with and where they belong. I enjoy these reworked fairytales, they are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me and I’m always hoping to find one like Cinder that breathes fresh air and originality into these old stories but Midnight Pearls with it’s unsatisfactory conclusion, undeveloped characters and rather bland story didn’t work for me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The real problem is the ending that, imho, was too fast. And I don't want to talk about how they easily fell in love together. Like, UGH DAFUQ?
In any case, as I said, I really enjoyed this book so I think that it deserves 4 stars :) ( )
