A review by euastros
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

when will we finally take note that not every story needs romance!! the best parts of this book were non romantic but everything happened so damn fast that it was a mile a minute. so many endings felt so unsatisfactory, and i dont think i still even get how
the curse was even lifted! shin and mina's romance was so...it felt like it had to happen instead of it should have happened. everyone was so 2d and it made me wanna scream.
at least the writing is very pretty, but god, i wish we had more of that proper shim cheong retelling...especially since shim cheong is in this book!!
