The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea was a highly anticipated book for me and it did not disappoint. The cover is simply breathtaking and the story is filled with stunning imagery and sensory details. Axie Oh’s writing is lyrical and poetic. Readers will find themselves rooting for Mina against insurmountable odds as she attempts to save her family and village from the whims of capricious gods. The characters are mysterious and carefully unveil what is truly happening in the strange new spirit world that Mina has found herself in. 

Mina’s journey is an atmospheric and captivating story. I loved the twists and reveals that were thoughtfully built into the story. I can’t wait to reread and look for all the clues that I may have missed on my initial reading. The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea is a romantic, moving, and dreamy tale. I hope we see more from this world one day! Maybe a novella to follow up on these characters? I’m looking forward to reading more from Axie Oh. I would recommend this for fans of Spirited Away, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and Roshani Chokshi. Thank you so much to Axie Oh, Feiwel & Friends, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
