I liked how the story is written. The flow an how it makes vivid images of the spirit world. I likes the characters and how the interact in this over the top anime way. (The whole story was in a realy cool anime style with beautiful backround in my head)

The reason why I don't give this book five stars is, because it is only fun if you ignore what the story means. It is over the top romantic. It is so romantic that it only can exist in fiction in this way an would be utterly toxic if real.
And aparrently the best woman can become in this world is bride/wife of a powerfull man. Even if they are clever and find their way in the spirit world, they don't get powers on their own, they just can get the love of a man. And the more powerfull the man, the better (it is said out loud "why would she be the bride of an emperor if she is the bride of a god.) And if they don't get the love of a man the least they can do is take care of children...
And I really hate it, that in this story it ist romantic and not a little bit problematic, that a 18 year old girl (16 when they fell in love) is marrying the fucking ever living sea god, which seems to be the most powerfull beeing in this world! She has no magic powers on her own, apparrently never traveled past her village or had any romatic relationsship with someone else! She can't even leave the spirit world without his help, where she has nothing to do for eons beside beeing his wife an visit her friends. This will be a hundred procent an abusive relationship in the future!
