The Salt Grows Heavy

Oh man. I was so excited to request this one when I saw it - scary mermaids are my JAM and I loved Khaw's Hammers on Bone novella. But honestly the only thing that impressed me about this one is how they managed to make a 97 page book feel like a freaking eternity.
I am never one to complain about having to look up new vocabulary words in books - I am a total logophile and LOVE adding new words to my repertoire... but this was so excessive. It read like the author kept a thesaurus next to them, changing a word each paragraph to sound smarter.
Honestly this story was so overwritten that I'm hard pressed to even remember the main plot points as it was so bogged down by fluff. The characters had no personality and I could not bring myself to care about them as I felt like I was just plopped into the middle of their story with no background information.
Huge thanks to the publisher for my gifted copy - unfortunately this one just wasn't for me.
