Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wendy Xu's Tidesong swept me away. Pairing beautiful art with lush storytelling and worldbuilding, Xu weaves a story of trust—broken and mended—and friendship—new and old—intertwined with Chinese dragon mythology and ocean ecology.

I'll be thinking about this book for days to come, and I can't wait to purchase copies for my younger relatives and recommend it to friends who want to read about magical worlds that are not too far from our own.

I LOVED this story. It is pitched for younger readers, but even as a 25 year old I loved it! The art is fantastic, and reminds me a lot of the Studio Ghibli art style. The story is a new and refreshing take on witches/mages mixed with God lore, Asian culture, dragons, and dragon people. Everything about this was wonderful.
