The Mermen & Magic series is one that contains an abundance of characters throughout the six books. I have LOTS of notes to help me keep track of everyone, but I realise my readers don’t have that advantage, so here is a brief rundown of the main characters in the series and (when relevant) what book their stories are told in. The reading order of the series can be found here. Some of them won’t be introduced until later in the series and may potentially have names changed at some point between now and publication. I have tried to keep the page as spoiler free as possible.
