The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

4.0

"Down into the darkness we sink, until the sea above me is the sky, and we--the dragon and I--are like falling stars."

"The sea. The water stretches out to the horizon, its beauty unparalleled, filling my heart with a joy that is boundless, that both grounds me to this moment and spirits me away, to a world far beyond this one, to the place where I long to be."

This story was absolutely magnificent. The blend of family, romance, myth, and destiny was beautiful; it was impossible to put the book down. There was a fair degree of predictability throughout, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment in any way. In fact, it was predictable because everything fit together and flowed so well, not because it was clichéd. This is a story I will be re-reading any time I need something comfortable, cozy, and magical.
