The Sea at the End of Everything by Emily McCosh was an atmospheric and thoughtful fantasy. It is a quick read with under 200 pages and was a perfect book to pick up during a recent thunderstorm.

It is told from the POV of Maren, a woman living in a seaside town where superstition and reality converge. A year before the story takes place, her sister washed up on shore after being thought drowned, but it seems like the sea never gave her back. When a stranger washes ashore, Maren has to seek her sister's help.

I enjoyed the setting and POV of the main character, Maren. Her loneliness and guilt sometimes overwhelm her, but she is willing to move past her own pride to help others.

I did feel that the ending wrapped up a little too quickly, but that may have partly been because I didn't want this book to end.
