Faye and the Ether by Nicole Bailey

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.

Faye loves the ocean more than anything. In her senior year of high school, she is looking to the future and the possibility of college. When she meets Daron, a new student, she doesn't know the world as she knows it will be turned upside down.

I quite enjoyed this book. The setting is lovely the characters are good, and I loved that there is a gay romance. Representation is important, and in a novel about groups of different creatures coming together, this lesson plays heavily. I enjoyed a new twist on mythology, and found the retellings interesting.

This book blends mythology and humanity together well. the flow is good and it reads easily and quickly. Before the reader knows it, he or she is absorbed into the story, which is always a good thing. This seems to be the first in a series, and I can't wait to see what happens next as the story unfolds.
