Sometimes she did things meaning to help but they backfired. I loved that her good intentions ended up being a huge driving force in the story, but not always for good. She really grew on me, though, the more I read. I think I felt like she was well-intentioned but a little bit oblivious to the feelings of the people around her. Something about Evie didn’t immediately hook me. I thought the way beliefs about the goddess of the sea were woven into the story was great, too.Īt first I wasn’t sure if the characters would really draw me in. I liked the fact that it was set in Denmark and really felt anchored in the setting, from the village’s dependence on fishing to the climate to some of the cultural elements. Now Evie will do anything to save her friend’s humanity, along with her prince’s heart-harnessing the power of her magic, her ocean, and her love until she discovers, too late, the truth of her bargain.Įven though the description kind of tells where this story is headed, I felt like so many things about it took me completely by surprise. She can’t stay in Havnestad, or on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. And, as the two girls catch the eyes-and hearts-of two charming princes, Evie believes that she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.īut her new friend has secrets of her own.
