These Mortals by Margaret Irwin
This was an enchanting, sweet and amusing story about the ethereal and mermaid-like Melusine, who leaves her father and travels to a royal court. Melusine has to cope with a lot of rather nasty people here, such as a princess and a seducer. Luckily, she has the help of a raven, a cat and a snake, and she has the ability to walk on moonbeams. Her real troubles begin when she falls in love with the handsome man in the palace dungeon...
I found this difficult to read at times because the lengths of the sentences didn't vary much. However, I am not used to reading fantasy. However, I was pleased to get away from my problems for a while and escape to the splendid palace with Melusine. Historical novels were definitely Margaret Irwin's forte. I recommend her trilogy about Princess Elizabeth.
