For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering.
Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, 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 finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the 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 . . .
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

4 (Muito bom)

Confesso que as vezes me senti um pouco perdida no começo da leitura, mas com o passar dos capítulos, fui entendendo toda a mitologia envolvida. O livro é super rápido e sempre tem algo acontecendo, o que no começo ajudou na minha confusão, mas que deixou a leitura bem dinâmica e intrigante. O final não foi como eu esperava e, apesar de eu ainda defender que a estória poderia ter terminado antes, ainda gostei de como a autora escolheu terminar o livro.
