The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh receives 5 out of 5 stars from me.  I listened to it as an audio book through my library, but would like to add it to my physical library.  I would recommend it for anyone ages 12 and up.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea follows the epic journey of Mina, a young girl from a village being ravaged by storms.  Her people believe that sacrificing a beautiful “bride” to the sea god will stop the storms each season.  The problem this year?  The sea god’s bride is the true love of Joon, Mina’s older brother.  To save her brother’s heart from breaking, Mina takes the place of Shim Cheong and throws herself into the sea in her place.  What follows is her journey as she struggles to navigate her way through the world of spirits.  She attract the attention of many different powerful entities and must figure out which individuals she encounters are friend…and which are foe.

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh:  5/5 stars.  Highly recommend.  FYI:  Fighting and violence, closed door romance, separation from loved ones.
