“I have a heart for every year I’ve been alive. There are seventeen hidden in the sand of my bedroom.”
What an opening line!
I just need to get it out there from the very beginning - I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! (Sorry for the shouty capitals but I couldn’t help myself).
Ok now time for my actual review......
Lira is a siren and the daughter of the Sea Queen. She is known as the Princes’ Bane because of all the princes she has killed by taking their hearts (like literally ripping their hearts out of their bodies).
Elian is a prince and an adventurer. He is also a siren killer. With no interest in becoming king of his kingdom, he has made it his mission to protect the world from sirens, and in particular he wants to kill the Princes’ Bane.
After Lira makes a mistake, the Sea Queen decides she will punish her by making her human. To get her fins back, Lira will need to kill the siren-killer prince and bring back his heart.
Both Elian and Lira have murder on their minds but will they be able to go ahead with their plans to rid the world of their worst enemy!
To Kill a Kingdom is easily the best book I’ve read this year. I’d heard so much about this book, and it was easily one of my most anticipated reads, so I was a little apprehensive about whether it would live up to the high expectations I had.
I shouldn’t have worried, if anything it surpassed my expectations.
Beautifully written with stunning imagery, sassy dialogue, epic world-building, a superb plot and awesome characters, To Kill a Kingdom is a darkly, delicious YA fantasy!
If that wasn’t enough to convince you, you’ll also get: pirates, princes, sirens, a kick-ass assemble of supporting characters, a Little Mermaid retelling (with a twist) and some vicious fight scenes!
I cannot rate this book highly enough but I can recommend it to as many people as possible.
