Summary
Deadly storms have ravaged Mina’s homeland for generations。 Floods sweep away entire villages， while bloody wars are waged over the few remaining resources。 Her people believe the Sea God， once their protector， now curses them with death and despair。 In an attempt to appease him， each year a beautiful maiden is thrown into the sea to serve as the Sea God’s bride， in the hopes that one day the “true bride” will be chosen and end the suffering。
Many believe that Shim Cheong， the most beautiful girl in the village—and the beloved of Mina’s older brother Joon—may be the legendary true bride。 But on the night Cheong is to be sacrificed， Joon follows Cheong out to sea， even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence。 To save her brother， Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong’s stead。
Swept away to the Spirit Realm， a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts， Mina seeks out the Sea God， only to find him caught in an enchanted sleep。 With the help of a mysterious young man named Shin—as well as a motley crew of demons， gods and spirits—Mina sets out to wake the Sea God and bring an end to the killer storms once and for all。
But she doesn’t have much time: A human cannot live long in the land of the spirits。 And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking…

A massive thank you to Netgalley for breaking my heart by providing me with an advanced copy of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh！The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is the story of a girl who's country is plagued by constant storms and weather anomalies， all of which are attributed to an irate Sea God。 The people believe that the only way to appease this god is by sacrificing a girl each year to be the bride to this god。 They believe that once the one true bride is sacrificed these sto A massive thank you to Netgalley for breaking my heart by providing me with an advanced copy of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh！The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is the story of a girl who's country is plagued by constant storms and weather anomalies， all of which are attributed to an irate Sea God。 The people believe that the only way to appease this god is by sacrificing a girl each year to be the bride to this god。 They believe that once the one true bride is sacrificed these storms will stop。The story starts off with the main character， Mina， trying to find and follow her brother on one of these sacrificial nights。 A few things don't go as planned and Mina ends up in the ocean and is taken as the intended bride。 But when she wakes up in the spirit realm things are very different than what was believed。 Although she was not the one that was meant to be sacrificed she still thinks she might have a way of fixing things for the human world - to bring back order。This book was devoured in two days （it would have been one sitting if I did not have to work as well！）。 I've always loved Korean culture， but this book was the biggest warm embrace of a YA fantasy book that exists。 If you love historical K-dramas， Ghibli or books like Julie Kagawa's Shadow of the Fox， then this is definitely the book for you。 The characters are amazing and the small truths that are revealed in the last half are so heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time that I am not lying when I say I cried my eyes out。 I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for their next Asian inspired fantasy read。 It truly is a masterpiece！ 。。。more

DNF at 20%I've been intrigued by the Korean mythology。 I hoped to learn/read something I wasn't familiar with。 But sadly this book is painfully young adult， lol。 The potential of a love story， even if innocent， between two 17 year old children is the last thing I want to read。 Plus the language， as expected for a book for younger readers， was too simple and dragged too much for me to be able to enjoy it。 *Book from the publisher with many thanks！ DNF at 20%I've been intrigued by the Korean mythology。 I hoped to learn/read something I wasn't familiar with。 But sadly this book is painfully young adult， lol。 The potential of a love story， even if innocent， between two 17 year old children is the last thing I want to read。 Plus the language， as expected for a book for younger readers， was too simple and dragged too much for me to be able to enjoy it。 *Book from the publisher with many thanks！ 。。。more

I adored this mythical， female-led， fantastical tale of bravery， family and friendship。The world building is quick and immersive。 Our protagonist is flawed， scared and has a propensity for tears。 That said， she's also brave， loyal and unwilling to sit round and wait to be rescued。 I'll be getting it on the school library shelves the day it's published！ I adored this mythical， female-led， fantastical tale of bravery， family and friendship。The world building is quick and immersive。 Our protagonist is flawed， scared and has a propensity for tears。 That said， she's also brave， loyal and unwilling to sit round and wait to be rescued。 I'll be getting it on the school library shelves the day it's published！ 。。。more

This was an okay book。 It was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and I am still glad I got the opportunity to read an ARC of it。The best thing about The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea was undoubtedly the setting; it felt very vivid and well crafted， I could imagine myself wandering in the Spirit Realm along with Mina; it was also pretty original， I had never read of a realm such as this one and I think I'd read more books set in the same universe。Another thing I really liked was how impo This was an okay book。 It was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and I am still glad I got the opportunity to read an ARC of it。The best thing about The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea was undoubtedly the setting; it felt very vivid and well crafted， I could imagine myself wandering in the Spirit Realm along with Mina; it was also pretty original， I had never read of a realm such as this one and I think I'd read more books set in the same universe。Another thing I really liked was how important of a role stories played in this book。 It was really nice， as the story itself was crafted a bit like a fairytale itself。I found the plot a bit boring and the plot twists were easily predictable， but my main issues is that everything felt too convenient。 When I read fantasies， I want the stakes to be higher， the feelings deeper and everything a bit more tension-filled。 I expected everything to go as it indeed went， so there was nothing to keep me engaged。I also did not like the romance， but I expected as much， since I am more of a slow-burn person， and I knew I would not get that， as this is a standalone （which I really appreciate nonetheless）。 In general， they were a cute couple， but not to my taste。As I said， I would read more books set in this universe， especially if they featured Kirin and Namgi， which were my two favourite characters -- and which I ship a lot， thank you very much。Thanks so much to the publisher and Netgalley for this e-ARC！ 。。。more

When I was a kid， my aunt and uncle got married in Korea and brought this fairy tale book back for me called ‘The Faithful Daughter Shim Chong。’ I still keep it on my bookshelf 20 years later。 I happened to stumble upon ‘The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea’ while scrolling around on goodreads， and the plot is sounding awfully familiar to the story I was so fond of as a kid。 It’s now become my most anticipated read for the new year and I cannot wait for its release！

A really fun fairy tale of sorts， girl needs to save village from bad storms and sacrifices herself - simple， right？ Not really！ You can see a lot of Aesop's Fables influence in the stories told。 Lots of interaction with gods， which is never straightforward， not matter the culture， and very little immediate gratification。 Teaching people to wait is NOT a bad thing， patience is a virtue， after all！ Pretty language and good descriptions A really fun fairy tale of sorts， girl needs to save village from bad storms and sacrifices herself - simple， right？ Not really！ You can see a lot of Aesop's Fables influence in the stories told。 Lots of interaction with gods， which is never straightforward， not matter the culture， and very little immediate gratification。 Teaching people to wait is NOT a bad thing， patience is a virtue， after all！ Pretty language and good descriptions 。。。more
