Well, I finished that review copy. I won't say I found it bad, just not very good. Let's say that I found it very slow and oddly passive; it needed to be moved out of first person PoV and the story line tightened up drastically.

The story can be summarised as girl jumps into sea in place of the chosen sacrifice, goes to spirit realm, and not much happens (apart from various attacks) while she figures out how to break the curse on the god and save her people. Meh. A lot more could have been done to improve the story, but I suppose it's the norm for YA.
