4.0

“Daughter of the Deep” by Rick Riordan is a clever reinterpretation of Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” 

There were several points where I wondered if Riordan had landed on this plot since he’d done so much ocean-related research for his “Percy Jackson” series, but it was still a fun book. The diversity of the characters was great and tastefully executed, which Riordan has struggled with in past books. 

I’m interested to see if a sequel is announced soon because the ending definitely leaves room for a second book. “Daughter of the Deep” was a fun read and I’d love to read more books set in the Jules Verne-inspired world.
