Bethany C. Morrow's A Song Below Water is the story for today’s listeners - a captivating modern fantasy about black mermaids, friendship, and self-discovery set against the challenges of today's racism and sexism.
In a society determined to keep her under lock and key, Tavia must hide her siren powers. Meanwhile, Effie is fighting her own family struggles, pitted against literal demons from her past. Together, these best friends must navigate through the perils of high school’s junior year.
But everything changes in the aftermath of a siren murder trial that rocks the nation, and Tavia accidentally lets out her magical voice at the worst possible moment.
Soon, nothing in Portland, Oregon, seems safe. To save themselves from drowning, it’s only Tavia and Effie’s unbreakable sisterhood that proves to be the strongest magic of all.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“I love this book so, so much! Bethany C. Morrow delivers a blistering modern classic with this gorgeous tale of friendship and power. A Song Below Water somehow manages to be intensely happy and sad at the same time and all in the balance of great, riveting storytelling. The best YA novel I've read all year.” (Daniel José Older, New York Times best-selling author of Shadowshaper)
“Morrow masterfully blends the real lives of Black girls in contemporary Portland with a mythic world of sirens, gargoyles, and other supernatural creatures to create a compelling coming-of-age story in which two sisters, bound by love and fate, find their voices and their power.” (Rebecca Roanhorse, Hugo, Nebula and John W. Campbell Award winner, author of Trail of Lightning)
“Empowering and full of surprises, A Song Below Water reminds us how important it is to use our voices, even when we’re afraid. Morrow has created a world that’s both familiar and brimming with fantastical creatures, and the result is timely, necessary, and utterly captivating.” (Akemi Dawn Bowman, award-winning author of Starfish and Summer Bird Blue)

The story pulls you in with beautiful imagery and a mysterious storyline. The ending is deeply satisfying. The author does not take the easy Hallmark movie style ending. Instead, she has crafted an ending that feels true to the characters and their struggles.
Overall, the narration is excellent. My only complaint is that Effie's narration is quite a bit quieter than her sister's. It fits the story but was a little difficult for my aging ears. I found myself adjusting the volume back and forth when the point of view changed.
The story is both an allegory and an explicit take on the challenges of race. It gives a perspective on the inner turmoil that people of color may experience. At the same time, the fantasy genre story of the two sisters stands on its own.
A Song Below Water is well worth the time to read or listen.

One of the readers leaves something to be desired. She has a strange cadence in her sentences; very often, she pauses and has a declarative tone 3 words shy of the end. of the sentence. It's very jarring. She's an odd choice for a reader. It was hard to understand who was speaking at times too. This book may be great to read physically. 2 stars
Great world and characters! Physical may be better
