A unique story, I liked reading it but I fail to see the wow factor many others do. It may just be my taste as I don't gravitate towards books with fae folk, however, I still found the concept of this book interesting. The commitment to water imagery was well done, it really makes you evaluate the sea as a symbol. I also liked how each chapter opened with an extract of some sort, it gave it that dark academic feel. I didn't completely like Effy's character I found her a little insufferable and childish at times, I understand she apologises and grows but her earlier behaviour towards Prestion left a bad impression on me that did not go away. Nonetheless, its worth the read, especially if you enjoy water imagery and reading about evil fae.
