Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis

3.0

I'm always excited to check out new work from Mindy McGinnis! This story blends four narratives to tell the story of a girl doomed to be "given to the sea," as a sacrifice for her kingdom. While I enjoyed hearing from the various characters, I don't know that I got to know any of them very well. I'm interested in seeing what happens in the next book, so will probably continue the series. But I felt a disconnect from the characters, some disinterest in certain events (though there were some surprising twists and turns!), and some dissatisfaction with how this particular book wrapped up. But it has a gorgeous cover and some creative world-building and I think the second book has potential to be even better!
