Wow.... This is not a book I expected or wanted. What a garbage fire.

Spoilers, obviously.
Ok first, I enjoyed this book. Second, I have so many damn questions. What happened to Undine? Was her whole life undone because the gods meddled with CC's timeline? Did none of it happen? Is the timeline safe because of the two different realms? Did Undine live CC's life for a month and then POOF find herself... where? when? back before she left? standing before her parents, very confused? MAJOR SPOILER: Why didn't the gods list "soul transference" as an option when Dylan was dying? Obviously they knew about it! The whole plot holds about as much water as a screen door. Why did CC need to exist at all? Why not just make it Undine's story and just give her CC's same personality. I came around to this element at the end, but.. just.. I don't know. I'm gonna go read the next one, though.

I couldn't read it. In just the first few pages there were so many adjectives describing how characters were speaking... "Mom said sagely."
Then, the main character is listening to her phone messages ALONE in her home and re-narrating what we just "heard" on the messages. I'm not sure why, perhaps to provide additional information?
I wanted to like this but I couldn't.

Hipnotizante, o mar guarda segredos que ultrapassam os sonhos do homem. É uma força da natureza sem igual, repleta de perigos e surpresas desconhecidas que nos atraem e atemorizam em igual medida, um núcleo de emoções, o oposto da vida de Christine…
Deusa do Mar narra-nos as aventuras de uma mulher igual a tantas outras, descontente com o seu destino, expõe-nos o seu desejo mais íntimo, a concretização desse seu anseio e o seu desenlace durante uma viagem pelo inimaginável que ultrapassa todos os tempos.
P. C. Cast tem uma escrita simples que se traduz numa leitura fluida e sequiosa para o leitor onde a magia, que reside dentro de cada mulher, é a chave para a felicidade, o impulso para ir mais além da sua bolha privada atingindo a essência que faz de cada uma de nós singular e especial.

lunarlullabies's review against another edition
I think that this has to be one of my favourite books by P.C Cast. The storyline kept me engaged all the way though, not unlike the rest of her books, and I literally couldn't put it down. It brought a new spin to an over-done idea. It also has a happy ending without it being cheesy.

I t was fantastic. Never a slow moment and you were always kept wondering. It had an expected but unexpected twist and I truly loved her work can't wait to read others :)

There was a level of complexity and depth that was missing, that made it difficult to really be pulled in to this story.
