A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
3.0
Fantasy is not something I dabble in a lot, but A Song Below Water taught me so much about different types of mythical beings I didn't know much about.
I really liked the commentary on social movements and how young people can use their voice. Sometimes I was fired up and hyped to see how involved and knowledgeable young people can be. I love when books can talk about what matters.
Sometimes, though, the themes seemed disjointed. At times, the metaphor of being an outsider and someone seen as less human worked really well with the social justice theme, but at times the book seemed like it was talking about mythical beings as a complete separate story and they didn’t meld well together. The relationships also were weird to me, and seemed thrown together sometimes.
The ending was pretty cool. It was a good release of the built up tension throughout the story.
