Publisher's Summary
Deadly storms. An ancient curse. Will her sacrifice save them all?
For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead.
Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all.
But she doesn't have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking....
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

So confusing
This book was so confusing to me! Not a lot of character development, and it felt like I never got the chance to actually know the characters beyond a surface level. Beautiful cover though, and the actual plot is very promising, however just didn’t do it for me!

Lovely story
The narrator didn't really do voices for the other characters which was a bit confusing at times, but it didn't detract from the story.

had a good premise but overall a little disappointing
There was so much potential, and I really wanted to like it :(
Shin carried the book for me, as well as the side characters - but I felt that there was not enough limelight on them. The world created was messy, the plot moved both slow and fast - the writing questionable, almost amateurish.
I liked the idea of the river of souls, and the aspects that reminded me of Miyazaki’s spirited away - but the book was messy :”
I know I wrote a lot of negatives but it was still an enjoyable read, I just wanted more depth and more explained.

Absolutely magical
I loved the storyline, character journeys and narration. There were many unexpected turns and I cried along with Mina's despair and celebrated with her triumphs.
This is perfect for fans of Uprooted and Circe.

A pretty read, good voice,
The voice actor was great, narration beautiful. And it is a lovely story, just not much depth. Meant for a young audience. If you love simple but nice stories, it’s a good listen.
