Soul of the Deep
Soul of the Deep | Natasha Bowen
6 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
The highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller Skin of the Sea, in which the world must pay the price for one mermaid's choice, and a dark force reverberates across realms. Perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and those eagerly anticipating the live-action film adaptation of The Little Mermaid. One life.One choice.One sacrifice. To save those closest to her, Simi traded away everything: her freedom, her family, and the boy she loves. Now she is sworn to serve a new god, watching over the Land of the Dead at the bottom of the ocean. But when signs of demons begin to appear, it's clear there are deeper consequences of Simi's trade. These demons spell the world's ruin . . . and because of Simi, they now have a way into the human realm. With the fate of the world at stake, Simi must break her promise and team up with a scheming trickster of a god. And if they succeed, perhaps Simi can also unbreak her heart along the way, and find herself again. Epic and original . . . Simi's story will stay with me for a long time." --Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Instructions for Dancing

This series is SO GOOD. Beautifully written and such a great story through the first book and this one. I am hoping she does a third, which is rare for me. Sometimes I struggle through series.

Bowen's first book in this trilogy was amazing! 💚 Because of that, perhaps my expectations were too high for this sequel.

It still had the folklore I loved but with all the new characters and terminology it was difficult to follow and became confusing.

I'm hoping Book 3 is better when it's released, but I'm also not sure if I'll read it.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 1y

I liked this sequel to Skin Deep better than the 1st…and the ending…so satisfying! Mermaid Simi is back and she has discovered that the Oriso of deep waters lied and kept Esu imprisoned so that he couldn‘t keep the anti-gods under control. Earth is running amok and she and Esu must save it, joining with Kola and her friends.

Simi was an awesome character: to the end she was true to her nature. I also liked other chracters but I think the amount of action didn't leave space to develope characters further.

I loved this world and how I got to learn more about African mythology and even some habits.

If you think about this only as a fantasy novel then you can't unnotice how simple and straightforward the plot is.

Not impressed coming down from the first. This was difficult to read through as the story just kept going with so much going on. Very rarely any breaks for the characters to reflect and grown from. Everything just went the characters way, even as every bad was her fault. I‘m disappointed she didn‘t get to grow. The ending was done too quick and twist felt out of place. Overall, think it went too hard trying to be like the little mermaid
