I read this book a while back now, and my lack of motivation to even open Blogger, or venture into the book community part of Twitter, has prevented me from reviewing it, or any other amazing book I’ve read in the past few months. However, I was suddenly inspired to blog today, so I am currently sat down with a “chill out” Spotify playlist on and getting something done, finally! Despite it being several months since I read To Kill A Kingdom, I can vividly remember how much I enjoyed it.
The story revolves around a Siren Princess named Lira, and a human Prince/Siren Hunter named Elian. I liked both of these characters, but I did find myself more attached to Lira, for some reason. I liked the character development that she went through and thought she was a really well written character. Lira is ruthless and has a pretty infamous reputation with princes, so I just found it interesting reading about a princess who has a dark side to her. Elian is amazing too, I just felt personally, that Lira had more depth to her, if that makes sense.
The plot is definitely rather dark, but not overdone. This was one of those books that I couldn’t put down, I just needed to know what was going to happen next. I can say it kept me on edge and is very suspenseful. The world that Christo has created is marvellous, the sirens have their own language, the Sea Queen is absolutely brutal, and the way the author describes the world really is something.
There’s a little bit of everything in this book. Romance, evil queens, siren hunters, familial relationships, friendship, well written characters and a thought out plot. I 100% recommend it!
Overall, I give this book 4.5 stars.
