- you’ve read Tress of the Emerald Sea and would like more of his heartwarming, standalone storytelling
the longer i sit with it, the more i love it.The ending WAS giving Yue from Avatar: The Last Airbender but I couldn't fault the whole book for it.

Galatea by Madeline Miller
A quick and haunting story fleshed out and told from an often unheard perspective. Honestly, not much to it, but I appreciated the read!

Great Read
Although this book took me a VERY long time to read, I enjoyed every second of it. King's writing is purposeful throughout the entire book and it was definitely the book I needed to get myself back into reading. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a more exciting book and is tied of the teen romances that have grown SO popular.
