I read this after watching the movie on Netflix. The movie was good, but now I see that it didn't do the story justice. I cried a little bit while reading this and felt a myriad of other emotions but by the time I'd reached the last page, I felt oddly at peace. I can't put into words how Children of the Sea makes me feel as a whole. Definitely going to come back to read this again whenever I'm not feeling well mentally.
