Words of praise:
“I want to recommend this story because it really intrigued me right from the beginning. Jean/Adrienne took her fate into her own hands, and risks so much danger to herself, to follow her love across the ocean. We watch as she saves the life of her love and earns respect of the men in the voyage. Jean/Adrienne is a woman who will not be held back by fear or social expectation of her. Her story was very fresh to me. I had never heard of this folktale and I genuinely enjoyed it. I think others who enjoy folktales will also appreciate this story.” — Montana, AvatarAshdel
