The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

So, I wanted to love this book like everyone else. But there are a few things that just don???t feel right.

First of all, I was not emotionally infested at all. If it???s my current state of mind or if it???s the rushed romance, I don???t know. About the latter: I feel like the romance in the book was so terribly set up. At one point one of the character says something like ???he says something in a way that ALWAYS makes me tremble???. Always? Girl we are on one of the last pages and you never mentioned this. Whenever a character shares his love for another character I am literally surprised because there were never signs for a looming romance.

Also, we literally learn the main characters last name on page 276. Of the 321.

Also the super random way the emperor comes up to Mina in the end and says ???I dreamt of you - will you be my bride??? wtf?

This is the first book I annotated and I went WILD with the tabs. Pink, however, was for romance and smut. And I only put about 5. I expected more. And that applies to the entire book.
