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…

Can 100% recommend the novel and this audiobook! The narration was also good, especially to get the correct pronunciation of some of the names.

This story is now part of a collection of stories that will live in my head rent free, and will have me wondering from time to time how the characters are doing in their little world. The authors way of describing the spirit world is so beautiful, just their writing in general was beautifully done. It was enough to get me teary eyed, and wanting the book to never end.

Overall I enjoyed all the twists and turns in this story. On the other hand, it took a while to follow the story and getting know the characters. This story appears predictable, but it isn't because I couldn't figure out for sure if there was a love Interest or if Mina's love and obligation for her family and town would override her desires. I couldn't predict if she would live, die, be replaced by the next sacrifice, or ever understand why she had to sacrifice herself. I think the key is to keep an open mind to the end.

It's such a fun and mystical read. I love the folklore within folklore, and I did not find the story predictable. It was everything I was looking for in a fun romance.

I enjoyed this book so much! I didn’t know what to expect at first as I didn’t read the whole summary of the story. The details were really interesting and the story was beautifully written, I couldn’t recommend this enough as it covers so many genres and interests I think many readers/listeners would enjoy. I would listen again!
