Publisher's 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 beautiful fairy tale

I enjoyed this, it reminded me of Spirited Away a bit, even though really their similarities are small. It was a fun, beautiful story full of hope and vibrant characters.

Best book in a while

I was hooked immediately and stayed engaged throughout the whole story. The characters interested me, the settings were beautifully described, and the pacing was perfect. I immensely enjoyed this book and will definitely listen again.

Wonderful

What a wonderful story from beginning to end! Sometimes the narrator sounds like they have a bit of a lisp, it’s a little distracting at first, but the story is so good and her voice so calm you forget about it.

Magical

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by @axieoh does not get enough hype in my opinion! It’s beautiful and magical. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

📚iIn an underwater realm Mina seeks out the Sea God. With the help of a mysterious crew of misfits she sets out on a magical journey. The narration of this one is absolutely brilliant.

🎧Reminder: Audiobooks are great if you’re busy, have trouble reading, or are injured and have pain like me. Reading is reading in every format friends!

Excellent across the board!

This book was a slow build to 5 stars! I was enjoying it from the beginning and the narrator did a phenomenal job engaging me and portraying so many different characters. But by the end of this book I was absolutely enraptured! It's like listening to and reading while floating in a cloud. Beautiful

Truly Lovely Journey

If you are looking for a comfort read, this is your book. There is enough drama to leave you curious, but not enough to add to the stress of the day. This is one you can get lost in and find space to lose yourself while knowing it will all turn out in the end.

Couldn’t finish

Some of the anecdotes were interesting but I couldn’t get past chapter 5. Convoluted storyline.
