Swept Up by the Sea: A Romantic Fairy Tale by Tracy Hickman, Laura Hickman
3.0
This was a fun fairytale for younger readers. The story was fun and had lots of fairytale elements like pirates, mermaids, genies, fairies and all those fun creatures. It was entertaining and sweet.
There were multiple story lines that converged at the end. I liked how it all came together and how the stories were all intertwined. However, listening to the audiobook, I had a hard time keeping track of all the different characters and storylines, especially when the main storyline was pushed to tell the story of a new character. It probably would’ve been less confusing if I read the book instead of listening to it.
There were also multiple romantic pairings and that was fun. It didn’t quite work out the way I thought it would but everyone got their happy ending which I enjoyed.
I liked the overall theme that love and a strong relationship are more precious than gold and treasure. Love is the true treasure. I really appreciated that the characters chose to give up worldly possessions for love. It’s a sweet theme.
Overall I think it’s a fun and sweet fairytale and is great for younger readers.
