The plot was interesting and easy to follow despite the fact that I haven't read or watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Some things felt unrealistic, but i'll let it slide because it is a middle grade book. Something I can't negotiate is the writing. At times it felt very monotone, as if I was being told what was happening rather than being shown (see: the 'show don't tell' rule), and the dialogue sometimes felt awkward – do people really talk like that? It was very different to the more natural narration in Percy Jackson and other books by Riordan, which was unfortunate. Still, the action scenes were well written and Ana's perspective was well written.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book! Bear in mind that it deals with grief and death so I would recommend it for readers 13+.
