To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo
I loved the concept for this book. Siren princess (Lira) is punished by her power hungry Sea Queen mother for harboring a shred of “human” sentiment, and therefore, forced to seek the heart of a siren-hunting prince. Prince (Elian) casts about on the deep, in self-imposed exile from his own kingdom, vanquishing the world of the human killing sirens dominating the sea, and his only true home.
There were times, yes, many times when the narrative prose was lyrical and immersive and it drew me right in to this commercially quite popular story.
