“ I have a heart for every year I’ve been alive”
Right from the opening line this book draws you in. It’s easy to see why this dark fantasy twist on a mermaid tale became a TikTok sensation, it is well worth the praise it’s been given.
The narrative alternates between perspectives of seventeen-year-old Princess Lira and the man who rescues her, Prince Elian. They provide opposing and overlapping sides of the storyline as the characters go through their trials and quests together, but with their own intentions and motives.
There’s every thing you’d like and expect from a YA novel - romance, suspicion, royalty, a price to be paid.
Alexandra Christo’s wetting style is engaging and the narrative moves at a good pace, it’s definitely a “hard to put down” book.
Based on this book I would definitely go on to read more stories from this author.
