dame_samara 's review for:
The Mermaid of Jeju
by Sumi Hahn
I am not sure what I was expecting going into this book. The title was enough to intrigue me but the description sealed the deal.
This book is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. The romance in this book was honestly wonderful, and to be honest the way it depicted how love isn't always simple or straight forward.
The way spirituality of the characters is both depicted is incredibly unique. I don't think I have ever picked up a piece of Historical Fiction that has it woven into every fiber of the book. It was refreshing and intriguing. It made the characters feel like they had more depth, while also bringing so much more to the story as well.
Everything in this book has a purpose, upon finishing it, I wasn't left feeling like anything existed just to pad out the book. Things that may have just seemed like they were there for that ended up being important to the story later.
I honestly want to curl up and listen to this books again, because it is incredibly beautiful. But also because I feel like there is so much that I may have easily missed more of the story.
