I loved this book so much from the characters to the amazingly well spun story that had me hanging on every word. The characters were amazing especially Mina it started with her just being a selfless girl wanting to save her brother it all changes into so much more by the end. What I loved about Mina was her willingness to whatever to takes to do what is right her love for her family and her eventual love for Shin and how far she was willing to go to save all those she loves even at great sacrifice to herself. I also loved many of the other characters especially Mask, Dai and Miki who were spirits who helped Mina a lot along the way

I also loved Kirin and Namgi who were such interesting characters that became great friends with Mina by the end. I loved Mina's family her brothers her sister in law and I loved most of all her grandmother who obviously inspired Mina most of all. I really loved Shin even if he was a bit standoffish at the start he grows to care for and eventually love Mina he was such a great character I loved how it all ended. I loved the plot it started off with Mina following her brother after he goes after the one he loves Cheong things happen and Mina jumps into the sea she ends up finding the sea god having not so nice thoughts about him meeting someone who irritates he losing her soul finding out about two worlds on the brink of destruction getting caught up in many things falling in love saving those she loves and waiting and finally ending up with the one she loves the ending was amazing this is now one of my favorite books of the year.
