"it was so good 😭 honestly i wasn’t expecting it to be this amazing but it exceeded all expectations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Oh my Lanta, this was the cutest book I’ve read in such a long time🫣😳 You can immediately feel this spark between the main characters and the banter throughout the book had me absolutely gushing over the characters!! The story wasn’t anything too complex; it was actually quite straightforward which is not a bad thing at all. Especially after reading quite a few books with complicated relationships, this one was such a nice breather and was much appreciated. Even though it’s a high-fantasy book, the problems that the characters struggle with is surprisingly real. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute, wholesome and wonderfully gay story✨~"

"I picked up In Deeper Waters because I had heard it was a gay version of the little mermaid told from Eric’s point of view. I was not disappointed! I loved Tal and Athlen!"

"The way Tal describes Athlen is literally the cutest thing ever!!! I loved how fast paced it was throughout their journey and the way Tal is so close with all his siblings is adorable ❤️"

"The start of the book was so insanely slow, the big major event was just sad and short, the practically non-existent plot was so obvious, but the gay was good."

"I really liked this book, though the writing style definitely threw me off. It feels childish in some way. The storytelling and world building is too good for the writing style to ruin it, though. I definitely still enjoyed it."

"I loved this book. It had a level of suspense and mystery to it but the love story both characters made were amazing "

"I wanted to like this book so badly because there’s not enough good gay fantasy but it’s just straight up bad, I was really determined to finish it, but I couldn’t even make it halfway through. The plot was bad, the characters were bad, the world building was bad."
