To Kill a Kingdom

Bok av Alexandra Christo
Dark and romantic YA fantasy for fans of Sarah J Maas - about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her. 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 unsavoury 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?
En förutsägbar retelling av Den Lilla Sjöjungfrun.

I en värld där onda sirener lever i havet, straffas en prinsessa till att leva på land som en människa om hon inte kan ge sin mor hjärtat av en mänsklig prins som jagar och dödar sirener.

Världen boken utspelar sig i var väldigt intressant och jag skulle vilja läsa mer om de olika kungarikena. Kändes som att den här boken skulle ha varit bättre om det var den första boken i en serie. Som det är blir historien för jäktad och slutet lämnade mig missnöjd.
