A review by belleanndthebook
Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood

dark sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

2.0

This book was ultimately not for me. Although there were many references to Greek myths and Rick Riordan’s writing, this book was not written in the style of either of those things. The pacing was much slower, the action was sprinkled in rather than a main focus, and there were no big plot twists. The story was very slow paced and character driven, in a way that reminded me of Six of Crows based on how much time was spent getting to know the characters. 
 
Ultimately, I would recommend this to people who are looking to read a very slow, atmospheric, wet, dark, and character driven YA Greek tragedy. 
 
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc!
