My Review:
The book never gets old to me!I really enjoy the way Napoli described everything. The scenes were so vivid and her language was so colorful that I could picture everything clearly. When I learned this book involved Greek mythology, I was thrilled. Greek myths are so complicated, but Napoli made the plot really smooth without any confusion. What really captured my heart was how much I can relate to Sirena, the main character. She is so dedicated to the ones she loves the most. I definitely recommend this if your into romantic stories as well. I give this (*****) 5 stars.
