Hey bookish friends!
Ready for the mermaids!? I went to the library and picked up Deep blue by Jennifer Donnelly when I got the red queen and I finished it this week. Firstly it wasn't what I expected. It was good and I was intrigued but It wasn't GREAT for me personally. I have a theory That her crown price is also Blu, and Neela's brother is also Grigio. I can't say for sure because I haven't read Rogue Wave yet which is the sequel but I'll be looking for it today at the library. now this book had some interesting plot areas and it's definitely different, I just personally wasn't wowed. The ending is a cliff hanger and is better than the rest of the book in my opinion. Then again this book is written for a younger audience and so in that aspect I think it's great for 7th graders. I'm 23 so I would have enjoyed more complex relationships and characters. But for the age group it's written it's great. Although it takes some getting used to all the new vocab. You really have to read between the lines to know what they are talking about in some places because she doesn't explain each name or new vocab she added into this world under the sea. I do plan to read the next book though because I want to see if my theory is correct and that's the biggest mystery to me. I believe the rest of the plot seems pretty easy to guess, The five girls attempt to stop Abbadon without the sixth girl run into some trouble and eventually the sixth girl joins them and they defeat Abbadon. But if you have teenage girls or preteens that love the read or love mermaids, they may really enjoy this book.
Let me know what you think if you read them! -Bookish Mom
