And I feel like the side characters kind of got lost, I probably won’t remember their names a week from now. I felt that the book was a little mixed in pacing, some parts took ages and others I blinked and they had already finished but overall really enjoyed the story telling. I really liked the slow burn romance between our main characters Lira and Elian during the first half of the book, both of them are fighting to be the opposite of what their families want / or made them to be. I really enjoyed the writing, I could picture everything clearly and loved all the kingdoms we visited and that they’re names correlated with the greek meaning of themselves.
So, this is a retelling of The Little Mermaid (which I completely ignored and only figured out after starting 😂) in an enemies to lovers kind of romance. Lira and Elian were just so well written, and the secret keeping, and guilt involved made it a really good read for me( I just really really like guilt and angst that follows in any book).
I loved the banter between the characters, and the romance seemed really well developed.
To be completely honest, this book didn't have me completely till around 30%, but after that I was engrossed!! It was actually worth it!! I don't rate books 5 stars all the time, but this book was absolutely worth it! The writing was just beautiful and I loved the relationship of the deadly pirate and prince of gold with the dangerous and powerful siren princess! You don't find a lot of books about sirens, especially pirates and I was so excited to read this book! I had such high expectations and still they were exceeded!! And I really love Lira's relationship with Elian. The conclusion is amazing, and I love how she got to bring the human lands with the sea realm. A dangerous siren ready to kill any and every prince who comes her way, but she is keen to kill one specific price, the prince of gold from Midas, to show her mother that she is capable to reign the oceans and become the sea queen.
