There are two points of view in this book, first there is Princess Lira, the most dangerous siren in all the seas. She and her kind take the hearts from sailors every year for power but Lira only takes the hearts of Princes, which is something her mother started for her and she wants to do everything to please her mother and prove she can be a queen herself someday. Lira then makes a big NO-NO and her mother punishes her by making her human and asks her to take the heart from Prince Elian, the siren killer, without her siren charms. Elian is the captain of the Saad, he and his loyal crew hunt down sirens and also do piraty things, like drinking and stealing, everything that is in no way apt for a future king, but that is not one of Elian’s current concerns. He is in the search for the eye of Keto which says that can give the power to destroy all sirens from the ocean, with a few leads he embarks on this journey not before having a rebel girl that he found on the ocean tell him that she can tell him how to use this power and the ritual that has to be done before using it. Can you guess who that is? So, I know there are predictable bits to it but I really enjoyed this book. Lira was dark and twisty, and Elian is not the perfect prince that we are used to seeing in most fairy tales. The characters are all enjoyable and lovable, they are a pirate family so obviously there are some trust issues. There is a bit of background on a few members of the crew from the Saad and we get to see how tough and loyal they are. The banter between them was so amusing to me and of course Elian and Lira (slow-burn romance alert) have this I hate you more relationships until they don’t, and it was very entertaining to read. I was a little disappointed by the ending but only because I wanted to know more and there were some things that felt unresolved for me. I will recommend this to all fantasy-mermaid-pirate lovers out there and I will definitely give it a second read. #booksbooksbooks📚 #bookblogger #bookish #beautifulbooks #books #booklover #bookcommunity #bookwormforlife #booknerdlife #booklove #bibliophile #bookslover #bookaholicgirl #bookreviewers #bookreviewblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGUDc_LnL5/?utm_medium=tumblr
