Crashing into a forbidden ocean was not on her flight plan, but Safi never expected to survive. Come to consciousness and being told that her life now depended on finding a mate was the kind of luck she was starting to expect.
Safi has been a pilot for years, never expecting to end her days on an interdicted planet, but blowing out her engines and lawn-darting into the ocean set her fate. She wakes and is told that her body will not last long enough to allow her to survive to a rescue, but there is an option. She can find a husband and join the underwater colony with a full transformation to water breathing, or she can die in under a week. For a woman who's prime personality trait is survival, it isn't too much of a choice.
There are a lot of fun parts to this reimagining of the Little Mermaid but they don't really come together as nicely as they could. The world building needs a little more time as does the romance but still a fun quick read for those of us who are already Grace fans.
Way down in the ocean can be a very deep place to be, especially when you aren't sure how you got there or if you will survive. Fun concept and cute idea.
