Into the Drowning Deep

What a great book. This book was very enjoyable, it was very gripping and hard to put down when i was reading it. The characters all felt very real to me, and the motivations of the many different groups felt accurate to what i would expect. The Science in the book was well thought out and expertly explained so all can understand what is going on. I also thought the plot was well executed and fell in line with how people act in real life

Spoilers for entire book

Going into this book i thought everyone was going to die. no lie. I'm glad everybody didn't die. Notable Deaths and my feelings:Heather: incredibly sad. loved the twins, didn't expect it so quickly or brutally. wish it hadn't happened.Ray(cameraman): didn't expect it. didn't like it. but i wasn't that involved yet. Ryan (Ex-BF): Glad he died. loved the method, accidently pricked with crustaceans. then his boss dies as well. made me laugh, they both died from their greedRandom Scientists: ehCaptain: called it, should've fixed those shudders soonerDolphins: I thought the dolphins might do something besides die. they didn't. loved getting the Dolphins PoV. if one had escaped would've been fine with me.Hunters (couple): predicted they were going to die from beginning, wasn't disappointed. I didn't predict the way they would die, but after miche? the wife died. i knew the husband would do the blaze of glory death. although it wasn't that glorious. Survivors:Dr. Toth: great, so focused on science, knew the mermaids were bad the whole time. very prepped. Loved that she learned some sign language, but only the science nothing else.Victoria (Tori): several scenes i thought she was going to die. and didn't. appreciated the fact that we get our main Character through everythingLuis (lab Partner): Thought he was going to die from foot wound, but didn't. also liked his attitude, and his mostly practical nature about whats happening.Holly, Hailee: Twin and Sister of Heather Accurate depictions of grief. anger, throwing yourself into work.Olivia: great representation of Anxiety/Nervous. loved this character. (didn't hurt that the last name was Sanderson)Theo: Imagine's director and "in Charge" of ship. lots of good scenes with him and him eating pot cookies at the end was really funnyWell thats everybody, that i want to talk about. Loved the fact that all the mermaids were Male, and the female was a super mermaid. like anglerfish. made sense to me.
