Reads like non-fiction on a fantasy topic. It reminded me of Dinotopia which I loved growing up. A great book for creative people. Highly recommend.

NetGalley review

From the format I receive it looks like such a fun and interesting book. The version I received seemed to be missing photos, and some pages didn’t match up to the next page or even paragraph.
I would absolutely purchase this to add to my bookcase. Even for kids who have an interest in this.

I always enjoy reading things about mermaids and other sea creatures like that. It had everything that I wanted from this type of book. I thought the guide worked well and glad it was everything that I hoped for.

Dr. C. Lillefisk's Sirenology is a beautifully illustrated fantasy encyclopedia of incredibly unique and creative mermaids! This book dives into mermaids who spend their entire lives lying still, building ecosystems on their back; mermaids with grotesque weaponized features; mermaids in lakes, oceans, streams, and beyond. It reads like the musings of a obsessive scientist working toward understanding of mysterious creatures. The artwork is beautiful with a distinct sketching quality - playing into the idea these were drawn by Dr. C. Lillefisk herself. While I feel some of the information of the mermaids could have gone a bit deeper to provide a more encompassing context for the illustrations, I enjoyed the read. If you are looking for a unique take on mermaid reading with accompanying artwork, Dr. C. Lillefisk's Sirenology is for you!

This anthology of sirens was mystical, magical, and wonderfully amazing to read and discover. I loved all the illustrations and the detailed descriptions of all the categories of sirens.
