OMG! I swear I've read this fic four times now and it keeps getting better! I love how you've written an actually realistic(for fantasy) horror-romance. Your writing style also helps bring out all the details and showcases the plot. Amazing story, can't wait to read it again!

This story is simply amazing. I loved every moment.
We're all totally perverts. Everyone who reads this fic will be happy about the M rating. To quote Jace from the mortal instruments, "I'm seventeen. We're all perverts." Indeed.
Thanks for being amazing and writing this fic. The mermaid princess is really cool. I love how at the end everything ended up happy. Annie and Finnick are totally one of my favorite OTPs that I wish could have a happy ending in the books. Alas, I must rely purely on fanfics for that happy ending. Thank you for giving me that happy ending. Stay awesome!

Finnick is the new Ariel. He collects human things.
I love how Finnick's mom calls him little fish. "What if he could tame a shark and ride it? How amazing would that be? " Very awesome. Finnick is just perfect. This chapter being in his point of view is really awesome.

I love it.

Overall this is a great story. I like your take on merfolk, both in regards to their behavior/culture and your unique vision for their appearance. I love the idea of the froggish legs instead of the traditional fish tail. However, your description of the legs lacking an ankle - while a good reason walking on land isn't very doable for a creature with legs and bones - doesn't seem compatible with the way you describe Finnick balancing on his "hands and feet". At best, it would seem, he'd have to be on his knees.
That detail aside, the only other criticism I have is about some of your grammar. I would recommend running your stories through something basic like MS Word; it should catch most of your mistakes. Perhaps, even, having another person read through to help you edit. You have a lot if run-on sentences that need to be broken up, though you also have some that are unnecessarily isolated (i.e., too short). There are also times where you repeat words, as though to started writing be sentence, stopped for a while, then continued with a different phrasing without checking what you'd written (something I do all the time). Some cursory editing will also help catch other typos. For example, at one point when Finnick is talking to Cordelia, he calls her "Cora" (though this kind of thing is always a risk when you have two similar characters with similar names).
Anyway, these mistakes don't really impede from enjoying what you've written. While clearly a take on the Little Mermaid and the classic "in love with A but betrothed to B" plot, your spin on things makes for a very fun and engaging read. The way you write Finnick is especially good. I encourage you to keep writing.

PERFECTION.
When Finnick rolled up like the boss he is and was like, Annie, be my wife.
Lol, I wouldn't have read this fic if it wasn't M so.. yeah ;)
I'm so excited to hunt down these outtakes now.
And I love your username. May I ask, what's green? :)

'My arm's, become so numb!' Holding my phone is this position for the past hour or so cannot be good for my circulation, but I can't help it - this is too good!
Haha, I figured it was Snow. This thing where Finnick has to kill his dad and then grant Snow asylum.. ah.
More Everlark, what what xP
I just hope it all works out :'(
Oo and I really appreciate your mini factfile at the end of each chappie. So cool :)

Oh my God the pain!
Marvel that filthy piece of sh*t. I was so scared for Annie during that dream, cos I thought it wasn't a dream, and now it isn't cos he's got his way and noo :'(
But what Finnick did with the wrist thing, whoop, whoop XD
And also, Everlark up in the house, whaat? xP
But yeah, Finnick's gonna go to this evil witch I'm guessing it's Snow. This cannot be good :(

Is ADD another way of saying ADHD?
I tried guessing what the stick was that Finnick was holding but I just couldn't. I should probably sleep. If only I was a mermaid..
Haha, this story is amazing. Can't wait to read more, yay! XD

Watching Mockingjay Part 1 gave me Odesta feels, so what Beyer way to let them FEEL than reading this awesome Odesta fic?
I'm loving the plot, and The Little Mermaid was never my favourite. I see the merpeople in HP, and I like the description of Finnick's laugh sounding like a dolphin. I think it's more realistic. Although we are talking about merpeople here. But then again, whose to say..

Cliché ending, but lovely nonetheless. I would have liked a blow-by-blow description of Finnick's journey to become Sea King, but it doesn't affect the story much in the long run. Wonderful job!

This is so creative and beautiful… I love it. Although if you really are comparing the Sea Witch to President Snow, maybe the witch should be a Wizard or Warlock. :)

Your writing is so amazing! I'm so glad I stumbled into this one. I love how this completely fits with district 4 of course that was probably your original intent. And also I would like to comment that I really appreciate the amount of effort u put into this story, even going about putting in real details and research throughout the story. I can't even imagine how long this took! You have so much talent and creativity! I look forward to your future work! :)
