2.0

 I was so excited to read The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea! From the very beginning, it was captivating and action-packed already and I knew that I was in for a treat. However, I wished it was consistent until the end.

The premise really had potential, but the execution was a bit lacking for me. Also, I didn’t know if it was just me but I had to remind myself numerous times that the book was a fantasy and not historical. 

I still enjoyed the book despite the issues I had. Even though I liked the minor things better, it was a good read. While the romance was “not giving”, it’s still a great tale of love among family. 

I guess what Axie Oh really captured in this retelling is the filial piety and themes of familial love which were the main point of the source material.
