Deep Blue

I'm a fan of Jennifer Donnelly's other books and was really looking forward to this. I felt like it couldn't decide if it wanted to be j fiction or ya. I've seen libraries list it as both. Some of the terms seemed a little too big for junior fiction. I loved many of the puns. especially currensea! I known it's part of a series but I would have liked a little closure on some characters, mainly blu. Some parts seemed to drag but I felt like overall she built up the characters well and made a charming underwater world. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Jennifer if you see this, please no more aconyms! Seeing “fomo” in a mermaid world? I understand it's modern terminology but no.... please no.
