From Danielle Paige, the New York Times best-selling author of Stealing Snow, comes a Mera and Aquaman origin story that explores Mera's first steps on land as well as her first steps as a hero or a villain, forcing her to choose to follow her heart or her mission to kill.
Mera is teenage royalty, heir to the throne of Xebel, the other not-so-lost colony under the sea. But Mera is destined to wear a different crown, that of Atlantis. When the inhabitants of Xebel plot to overthrow their homeland of Atlantis, Mera is sent to kill the heir to the throne, Arthur Curry. As the unrest between their colonies grows, Mera and Arthur unexpectedly fall in love...will Arthur Curry be the king at Mera's side in Atlantis, or will he die under her blade?
Mera by Danielle Paige is an astonishing story that explores themes of duty, love, heroism and freedom, all through the eyes of readers' favorite undersea royalty.

My Review: 3/5 Stars
A graphic novel that gives us a new origin story for Mera and Aquaman. Mera: Tidebreaker follows Mera as she struggles to prove that she is more than a princess. She is a warrior and she is the future of Xebel, despite those who do not believe she can be queen. After overhearing her father's plan to send another to kill the heir of Atlantis and if he succeeds he will be the heir of Xebel, Mera decides that she won't let anyone steal her birthright. She leaves home to find Arthur Curry. But she soon realizes that there is more Arthur Curry than she believed. He is innocent and has no idea what his birthright is. And soon she is falling hard. It was fun to read but I will say I wish there was more to it.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
