Want even more mermaids in fiction? Try these: A young witch hoping to attend an elite magical university travels to her aunt on the coast to learn her family’s magic. But when she tries to perform magic beyond her abilities, she’s saved by a young sea dragon. Now their magic is all tangled together and the dragon is stuck in human form, with no memories, until they can figure out how to pull the threads of their magic apart. Tidesong portrays a sweet story of friendship and coping with anxiety with big Miyazaki vibes. You can also read the digital version online at icemassacre.com or on Tapas. This is just a charming romp. It’s start to finish fun, and I am so here for it.
