A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
2.0
1. I listened to the audiobook and the voice actors were poorly selected for the main characters Effie and Tavia.
2. The best aspect of the book was the sister-friend relationship between Effie and Tavia.
3. This was a book club selection and I did not enjoy this book at all. Bethany Morrow needs a better editor. The book did not explain the structure of society or the overall mythos and how it’s symbolization equates to today's society.
At the end of the book I had zero understanding of sirens, elokos and sprites. All I know is that sprites are black women, but not all black women are sprites...
4. There was no true plot.
5. Character development was poor and I felt no connection to anyone.
6. The book was slow and at times boring.
