Synopsis
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 or remain a human forever.
The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby—it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good—But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy?

This is my true and honest review of To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo. This was published in March 2018
3.5 Star. This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018.
I really wanted to love this book as The Little Mermaid was one of
my all time favourite Disney films. I also love pirates and pirate books. The world
building was excellent, and the characters were likeable. For me it was that
the book did not hold my attention and that I had to almost force myself to
continue. The twist that the main character Princess Lira was an unlikeable
siren and not a perfect mermaid made things interesting. Also, Prince Elian
being more pirate than prince was a nice change.
The kingdoms in this book are rich and truly amazing and that I hope
that I will pick this up again in the future and will like this more.
Great book for fantasy lovers and who enjoy tales about mermaids
and pirates.
