This book was an absolutely mesmerizing and epic tale of a girl and her pursuit of her own fate. It was a retelling of a korean legend. I absolutely loved the story and how beautifully it described everything. It was like I was right there and could see the vibrant colors and smell the sea salt. The characters were all so interesting and made me even more invested in the story. It is one of my favorite books now. 💗🌊🐋

I really enjoyed this book! It started slow, but I got invested pretty quick. I loved the characters and their development. The last few chapters made me go from really liking the book to loving it!
