I have to admit that I went into reading To Kill a Kingdom without high expectations. I've found lately that almost all massively hyped young adult novels have disappointed me in one way or another. Thankfully this was not the case with this book.
It's a retelling of The Little Mermaid, but with a twist. Rather than a sweet, innocent mermaid and a dashing, oblivious Prince we have a ruthless siren princess and a deadly siren hunter, one with his sights set on none other than our protagonist!
The story was refreshing in that while is was indeed a romance, it definitely did not fit the Disney narrative.
I loved the character development, the world building and the author's writing style. I'm definitely excited to read whatever comes next from Alexandra Christo!
