eARC received through Netgalley.
This was great! This is a book I've read in its original Webtoon format, and I'm glad it's finally being published physically. I love Kappa and Siren soo much, and I am in love with their story! I will 100% be looking out for more of this physical copies in the future. The art style of this series is amazing too, and I love the progression of it as the author/artist's style develops!

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I originally read this on webtoons but it's a beautiful book so I read it again in the hardcover edition

This series is soooo cute!! I can’t wait for the other books!

Kappa is probably the most adorable character I’ve ever read about. Siren’s personality is really endearing, he’s funny and his reaction when his friend talked about him having a potential boyfriend was just so wholesome.

I had been following here an there updates of this series on webtoon but seeing it come to life is a complete different experience. Highly recommend!

I loved the art style and I can’t wait to see how Kappa and Siren’s relationship progresses, however I find the plot more of an opening to the greatest adventures yet to come so it feels a little basic.
Thank you NetGalley so much for the E-arc!

I have received a digital review copy from the publisher via Netgalley. This does not influence my opinion. 

 

Castle Swimmer is a very cute book about two people realizing that they don’t want to be who they are “destined” to be and starting to figure out how to be who they really are, all of it set under the sea. 

I loved the premise of this book and can’t wait to see where the story takes us in the next volumes. 

The art style was also beautiful and fit the story perfectly. 

I only wanted the characters to be a bit more three-dimensional. 

 

All in all a very good read.
