And Elian is just...boring. The siren song of the YA male love interest. A real poor little rich boy type situation. SO SORRY YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RULE OVER AN ISLAND MADE OF GOLD, ASSHOLE. WE WEEP FOR YOUR SUFFERING, WE REALLY DO. At this point, one would think that their relationship is unsalvageable. Lira doesn’t give up though. She forgets about the mission that her mother set her on and chooses to turn on and kill her mother instead.

Her personality is strong, brave, courageous, and lethal. Underneath all of her hardness is someone who cares for others. A super dark retelling... and then I’ll sing “Under the Sea” with my kid again. With more enthusiasm than ever. ;-P If I married you?” I stand to tower above him, pushing away the unraveling thing inside me. “I suppose it would be my mind.” Reading this book was an amazing experience, I absolutely flew through it. To me this book doesn’t feel like a standalone because I have grown to care for these characters impossibly fast, and I will miss them dearly. The story was very well written, it didn’t feel rushed, it didn’t feel slow, it had the perfect pace and conveyed exactly want it wanted to say. With a gleeful smile, he flings himself into the ocean, and with the splash of his body comes a second, which I know to be the queen, throwing herself to my cousin’s mercy. The sounds of their falls awaken something in the crew, and in an instant they are screaming.

I was astounded by the worldbuilding and how seamlessly it was crafted and presented. Honestly, this entire story’s imagery was so impressive. The last battle was so visually breathtaking, I feel speechless. The last few chapters were perfection, and I feel so honored that I was able to even experience them. Me and Jules both were absolutely astonished by that last battle and how visually pleasing it was to the mind. I honestly could picture this being a movie immediately. Mineral MacGuffin: The main characters spend most of the plot on a quest for the Second Eye of Keto, one of two powerful crystals said to be the eyes of the lost sea goddess. I do have a couple of complains, though. The big reveal (when one of the characters found out about the other's identity) was too simple. I don't know what I was expecting, honestly. Maybe a little more yelling? Or just a heated argument? Whatever, I can overlook that part. However, Elian's decision at the end is kind of hard to process. Maybe I'm just used to fantasy characters being overly complicated and I can't settle for simplicity. This is the notes I took while I was reading the novel. Think of it like a liveblog.

God Save Us from the Queen!: The Siren Queen is depicted as a genocidal psychopath who delights in hurting both humans and her own subjects. Her ultimate aim is to wipe out humanity itself. We see both of them run from the people they were forced to become because of the position they were born in, we see them resent the people they were raised to be and find them fighting their way out of the moulds society carved for them. insert drooling face here* I can't help it.

Now you see right away all of that just screams "Siren!" but of course, Elian brings her aboard and I can understand that since it's not known that Sirens can transform into humans. But... then you literally watch this strange girl as she speaks with another Siren right in front of you—and yet you still believe that she's human??? And a reminder that you literally found this strange girl floating in the middle of the ocean. Pleasee how dumb can you be??😭🤚 That's the thing about risks," Kye says. " It's impossible to know which ones are worth it until it's too late.” And what kind of prince in waiting would Elian be if he let this damsel in distress drown in the water?

And you guys know that hate to love romance is the trope that I love more than any other. And this angst? Perfection. These two might honestly end up being my favorite partnership of 2018. From actually laughing out loud, to swooning, to crying, to everything I felt for these two, and all I want is more. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen and or remain a human forever. However, in this story, Sirens are beautiful creatures who still sing songs to lure humans to them.
