![]() ![]() My rapt interest briefly returned toward the end of the story, when Elian finds out who Lira really is, but those scenes were followed by the final battle and ending which can be best described as lackluster. And, you guessed it, no swashbuckling shenanigans. But both Lira's transition to humanity and her slow budding romance with Elian were underwhelming. I was expecting a lot more from Lira's complex darkness, a nail-biting romance, and some fun pirate swashbuckling to top it all off. I was riveted through the first quarter of the book, but my enthrallment slowly faded away as the story sailed on (pun intended). It's dark and different, and it paves the way for what I thought would be a fantastic story. ![]() Thoughts: This book starts off with a bang. Lira now has to bring back Elian's heart to win her mother's favor and become a siren again. How awesome is that? The story takes off when Lira makes a mistake that pisses off her one-dimensional, evil queen mother, who turns her into a human as punishment. But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind's greatest enemy? 32.The skinny: You have Lira, a beautiful siren princess who rips royal hearts from their chests with her bare hands, and Elian, a witty pirate prince who makes a successful career out of hunting Lira's kind. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she's more than what she appears. ![]() Hunting sirens is more than an unsavoury hobby - it's his calling. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian's heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most - a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. 9781471407390 To Kill a Kingdom 32.0000 NZD InStock /shop/books /shop/books/childrens-books /shop/books/teen-young-adult /shop/books/childrens-books/fiction /shop/books/teen-young-adult/fiction /shop/books/childrens-books/fiction/science-fiction-fantasy /shop/books/childrens-books/fiction/traditional-stories /shop/books/teen-young-adult/fiction/science-fiction-fantasy Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. ![]() But can he trust her?
