Through Waters Deep by Sarah Sundin
5.0
Review: This novel is BEAUTIFUL! I was so in love with the characters that it only took me 24 hours to finish reading it. When I read the Sunrise At Normandy series by Sundin, I knew I had found another gem. Sundin knows how to weave a sweet romance that tugs at your heart and historical fiction that pulls you into the world of our ancestors. Being the great granddaughter of a navy man who served with the Seabees right after WWII ended, the Navy fascinates me, and I feel a connection to it. I loved reading about it even though I may have found myself a bit lost as soon as Sundin started throwing around words like TU 4.1.5, Dry Dock 2, and Convoy HX-160. I will 100% be rereading this and it has been rewarded immediately with a spot on my 'Favorites' shelf. It's already on my wishlist to purchase, so it can live on my physical bookshelf too. I'm dying to get started on the next book in the series since I know Sundin will not disappoint my desire for complex characters, dashing but clean romance and WWII history. It's always an adventure!
I recommend this to WWII history buffs who have a partiality to romance. I think anyone over the age of 14 or 15 can read this novel. Even though there is a lot of lingo related to the navy that most people will struggle with, the story can still be understood.
Update: The second time reading this book was even better than the first. I really took my time with it so I could fully immerse myself in the story. I even took a look at Sundin's website so I could more accurately picture all the real places mentioned in the book. If you're reading it for the first time, I recommend doing this so you get the full experience. Either way, I guarantee you this book will have you glued to a chair flipping pages to reach the swoony and satisfying end of this gorgeous love story.
