I really like this story so far. The first few chapters definitely remind me of the story of The Little Mermaid, except in a modern day setting. I can't wait to see what you add to the story. I enjoy your stlye of writing and how it really lets the reader experience Kaira's thoughts, especially as she struggles with her inability to express herself to others. Keep writing!

Gah! Do you plan on updating this anytime soon? Oh, it's sounding so god! But would people normally just let a random stranger stay with them? Please update! I really want to know what happens next!

I want to read more! I becoming intrigued by the minute! =D

It's a very interesting take on the original Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson. I wonder what will happen next?
Your imagery is colorful and I like the character you have play the main character.
She seems headstrong and not some damsel in distress. There's a lot of potential for character development throughout the story.
However, it seems like she knows a bit too much about human culture.

Ohmigod! (Yes, I did just mash that word together.)

I LOVE ET!

I need an update... need... need... *hypervenilates*

Okay, so I'm not a psyochopath, nor a brain-eating zombie.

I am merely a devoted reader totally and absolutely enamored with your story.

Also: Gah! Clif-hanger... *wimpers*

Did I mention I loved "Learning To Breathe"? Yes? Well, too bad, 'cuz I do! =D

VERY good. Love it! Superb, believable, and the imagery is absolutely fantastic.

One thing (very minor) is that I think, maybe, she should be thinking about the pain in her feet more often, or at least commenting on how she's 'getting used to it.' Or something...

Anyways, I really think this is, over all, magnificent. I'll keep reading, so you keep updating, 'kay? ;D

... her 'prince' has green hair? Maybe I accidently missed that in the descriptions before.
:) Cool! I adore this story, even if I cringe whenever you write about the cuts on her feet etc. :] Kudos!

Aw, the Kaira in this story reminds me of my friend Kayla from school. She has long, blonde hair too and she's really pretty, and if I think about it I could totally see her being a mermaid. Pretty hefty coincidence? :D

I want to know what happens next! (Your writing's really, really good.)

I love this! Things are really moving along. You're doing so great. I enjoy your descriptions of modern things like spoons and brushes. Great job!

Oh no, is she going to reach him? And if so, what's he going to do? Oh dear.

this is really intersting, i cant wait to see what happens next!

Love this :) please keep going
Brilliant idea too, I always adored the story of the little mermaid. and this is even better :D update?

This story is absolutely incredible! I love Hans Christian Anderson's A Little Mermaid and gah! You just make it amazing! I take it he was your inspiration? You're doing so amazingly well.

This is so well paced and well written. The imagery is just breathtaking, the wording, the everything! The tongue thing made me cringe. Ouch. Then again, it did in the original tale too. Haha. I just hope this doesn't end as that one did.

I can't say it enough, but you are doing an incredible job.

I nearly cried when they cut her hair! Why so short! *pouts*

Haha I'm just teasing.

Keep up the phenominal work!

Hello. :) I just want to preface my review by saying that I really, really like your story so you don't think I'm being a jerk or something. I was curious as to how she could taste the food, considering (I believe) not all of the tastes are found at the back of the tongue. I also wondered how she could swallow without most of a tongue. It also seems like she knows a bit too much about human culture to have come from another world. Shaking the hand for "almost" and knowing what is or is not old fashioned probably would not be something she'd know in that culture. Anyway, I'm very interested in what comes next. :) I hope her life does eventually get better. (LaButterfly is my real username here, by the way.)

this is kinda boring

i just hope it doesn't end like the REAL little mermaid...

where she DIES in the end
