Córka głębin by Rick Riordan

kgsicko's review against another edition

Lacked Rick Riordan’s usual voice- dialogue and humor felt forced and the story felt too clichéd.

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan is a fun middle grade retelling of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. It's honestly always nice to read a new Rock Riordan story. I love how he pays homage to the classics in his own way. That said, but this standalone didn't quite hold my attention as much as some of his others even though it has some cool ideas.

Daughter of the Deep, like Riordan's other books that I've read and loved, got me diving into a whole new adventure. I love the fact that he based it on Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I stopped reading that classic almost halfway as it was mostly full of info-dumping, but even so, I still could catch the references in Uncle Rick's book. It was also mentioned somewhere that there's a sequel for the classic story. Which makes me think.... Maybe I should pick up where I left off 20,000 Leagues.

Overall, the book was great, but the middle-ish felt like it was dragged a bit too long and the ending didn't deliver with as much impact as I thought it would. Still loved everything else though.

Kinda boring... The concept was cool, and I appreciated the diverse cast of characters. But ultimately, I didn't care much for the fantasy aspects and didn't really understand what was at stake.
