the story
Good read for anyone
This is a great middle grade book. The story is compelling and deep. Tristan is a boy who is struggling with growing up, figuring out how to deal with losing his best friend, and feeling like a disappointment to his parents and grandparents. It's a rollercoaster of feelings and a great story.
If you don't know anything or much about African American or African folktales or mythology, it's ok. I really know only two (John Henry the reason why I bought the book.) and have only a passing knowledge of some of the characters and others I didn't know at all. And that didn't distract from the story. I will be looking the stories up because I want to know more about them. That kind of curiosity is something that I feel makes a great book.
I look forward to reading the next story.

The finale of the Mythology series does not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. I felt that Helen Boswell made a brave step in that a lot of this book is from the point of view of Jonathan, instead of just Hope and Micah like usual. This means that you definitely see things differently and find out reasons for the way that he has acted and the things he has done.

With plot twists and turns aplenty, this is one nail-biting climax that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you turn from page to page, afraid to put it down in case something happens whilst you're away!

Excellently written, and smoothly paced as per the author's style, this made for a thrilling climax to the series and I have no hesitation in highly recommending this series.

Talise didn't choose any of this. She came to Llyn Du with her notebooks and her questions, looking for the kind of truth you can measure. What she found instead was a man carrying a sorrow older than she can fathom, a red thread she never asked for, and a goddess waiting patiently between hill and sea who had already written her name into something ancient.

STILL WATERS, DEEP is a story about being found by a destiny rather than chasing one, and about whether love, when it asks you to sacrifice, can still be something freely given. I think it can. I hope you will, too.

ARCs are available now, ahead of the 17th April release. If old magic, Welsh mythology, and a romance that aches in all the right places sound like your kind of reading, click on the link below. 🌊💙
