Summary
Deadly storms. An ancient curse. Will her sacrifice save them all?
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.

All time favorite 🐉
I loved everything about this book: the story, the narrator’s soothing voice, Mina’s strength, Namgi and Kirim’s loyalty, Shin’s acts of love. Everything.

Very enjoyable!
it was cute as hell and consistently fun throughout. The story can be a bit predictable but it never took away from my enjoyment of it

Colourful and vivid story telling enjoyable for all ages
I really loved the writing and the story was well thought out and thoroughly enjoyable. The world feel lively and colourful and the characters are all likable. It truly feels like a fairytale and I can definitely see the Ghibli inspiration.

a heart-warming fairytale
This is a wonderful story. A reimaging of the Korean tale of Shim Cheong, this book feels like a heartwarming fairytale filled with love, bravery, and sacrifice.
Simply put, I loved this book. The writing was lovely. The narrator brought this book to life with her performance.
I would highly recommend listening/reading this book.
