This was all right. Only "all right" because it's no secret how I feel about premature love. I need chemistry and evidence to back it up. Otherwise a story feels like an excuse for smut. The characters even admit they moved too fast and that they could barely talk. I didn't really care if they reunited because there wasn't much between them. This means some plot elements fell a bit weak since romance was the main support. 
 I did like the political dynamics between the two worlds, though. A little Pocahontas / Avatar, but it's nice to have an m/m twist on it. The concept of a planet made only of water was innovative. It's a pretty cool setting. I don't think I've seen alien merfolk before, so it gets points for creativity. 
 I just wish the main character had more motivation to drive his stance. The story would have come to life with that extra push.
