A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
5.0
An absolutely breathtaking, inspired, and mind-bogglingly badass use of the fairy tale formula. I couldn't put it down! Morrow skillfully lays the groundwork for the mystery surrounding Effie while weaving a powerful story about Tavia and her siren song, and the fantasy genre is far richer now that it has A Song Below Water among its ranks.
By blending siren mythos with the well-known narrative of the silent mermaid, Morrow makes her reader consider what it means to have a voice, to recognize its power, and to use it - even if it may be safer to remain silent. If everyone were to literally take a page out of this book, then the world would be a much better place.
This reader cannot wait for the story to continue this summer!
