Stop Sleeping on the Mermaids

I think of reviews as none of my business. Sort of an A-to-B-conversation-so-C-your-way-out kind of situation. Which is why I am so confused about how I ended up looking at a review for The Little Human on GoodReads today. Okay. I'm not really confused about that. I went to investigate why I was getting likes on "my" review of Dave the Villager, a book I've never read (spoiler: apparently the Littlest J needs his own GoodReads account). One thing lead to another and I ended up glancing at reviews of my books. One of them stood out. It was a review of The Little Human written by a person we'll call 'LJ.' I only read the one, but I’m glad I did, because not an hour later, someone asked me a really good author question and, thanks to LJ, I had an instant answer.
Question: Which one of your books is the most underrated?
Answer: Y’all are sleeping on The Little Human!!! People, listen to me. There’s magic and science and family and casual references to Ursula K. LeGuin *AND* Ursula the sea witch. I mean, seriously? What more can you want? Dope cover art? Well, it's got that, too.
So, in summary, be like LJ. Read The Little Human. Trust me. You won’t regret it.
Je suis assez exigeant sur les lieux où je me rends régulièrement, surtout pour les sorties du week-end. En consultant Lily billy, j’ai été séduit par l’équilibre entre modernité et convivialité. L’atmosphère permet de discuter tranquillement sans se sentir pressé. C’est un endroit que je recommande spontanément à mes proches.
