The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh Book Summary

A New York Times Bestseller!

Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is an enthralling feminist retelling of the classic Korean folktale "The Tale of Shim Cheong," perfect for fans of Wintersong, Uprooted, and Miyazaki’s Spirited Away.

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…

as perfect as the cover!. absolutely fantastic!!!! wonderful characters and relationships that leave you wanting more!!!! will be rereading again and again and praying for a sequel.

Great. So beautifully written and heart wrenchingly told. 100 brides of the Sea God and each one important. Once more another great story by another amazing author. 10/10.

Pretty good. It really sought out my expectations when they had Spirited Away vibes into this book and I gotta say it wasn’t that bad.

Love love love. This story is absolutely beautiful

Beautiful. This book is beautiful and that really is the least of it. I shall share it with every by-passer and interlocutor that happens to share the same love of reading as I do. It has taught me much and in it are many valuable lessons. Truly I say to you that his book will be held in my heart with fervor and admiration. I must say that the way the author articulated her words made way for immaculate imagery. You simply must read it.

A Gorgeous Fantasy With an Underwhelming Young Romance. “This is a tale of bravery and sacrifice, a retelling of the Korean folktale “The Tale of Shim Cheong.” Believing they’re cursed by the Sea God who once protected them, Mina’s village annually chooses a bride and throws her into the sea as a sacrifice for peace. Still, floods and wars continue to ravage the land with no end in sight. Shim Cheong is the latest choice, her unmatched beauty thought to be a sign of the “true bride” and impending peace. Her sweetheart Joon risks punishment by death to ride in the boat, joined at the last minute by his younger sister Mina who wants to protect him. Knowing how much the young couple loves one another, Mina bravely throws herself into the sea where she’s carried to the Spirit Realm. She finds the Sea God, but he isn’t the merciless ruler she was expecting; he’s trapped under a sleeping spell. With the help of her new acquaintances led by the enigmatic Shin, Mina navigates a world of demons and spirits to wake her groom and save her home before time runs out, and she can no longer leave as a human.” If you added “The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea” to your TBR because of Kuri Huang’s stunning art, fear not because the setting and atmosphere are just as magical as advertised on the cover. I wanted to dive in and never come back, minus the sacrifice part of course. My favorite part was the friendships Mina found on her journey through the Spirit Realm which led to an emotional twist that hit me like a ton of bricks. Wow! I may or may not have sobbed in a bubble bath late at night for a lengthy period of time. Just like Axie Oh’s other book “XOXO,” I thoroughly enjoyed the fictional world and platonic relationships but didn’t quite fall for the romance, although I did feel it a little more in this story. Some of the banter was cute, but overall, the love story felt too young and rushed. My head wanted to root for a happy ending because the couple is swoonworthy in theory, but there were no heart palpitations or stomach butterflies for me, I’m afraid. Due to an uptick in my enjoyment, I’m giving my second experience with Axie Oh’s work four stars. I recommend this beautiful Korean fantasy to readers who are familiar with the young adult genre and don’t mind a young love romance that doesn’t dive too deep. The world and characters will enchant you! • Full Content Breakdown on my Wordpress Blog -> LaurenMicheleLifestyle

YA must read!. Beautiful story that leaves you satisfied and reflecting on the meaning of family and love. Very happy I picked this book up!

It was okay. Writing was amazing and it pulls you in literally right away. The book is also hysterical, but the way the author uses humor is clever. However, it was lacking character depth and development and I had too many questions while reading it. Go for it for the way it is written and the humor, not for the plot.

Need More TT. It broke my heart seeing that I was already at the ending and there wasn’t more of what I was craving. I sobbed and screamed and kicked my feet throughout this entire book, it was beautiful! This was the first of books I have read that had any focus on romance, and I find myself only wanting more and more. The author has my heart and praise.
