Sacrifice is a prominent theme in this book. Mina is willing to sacrifice herself in place of the intended sea bride, as the intended sea bride is in love with her brother. To protect her brother, she sacrifices herself to the sea God. This reminds me of the theme of the necessity of sacrifice/the price to be paid in order to appease the divine. I‘m curious to see how the theme of sacrifice will continue to play out in this book.
