I think my favourite thing about this book was the brutality. The siren's are violent, and Lira perhaps the most violent of all. It is a dark book, filled with death.
I loved the pace. I struggled to put this book down and I loved the story.
I wasn't such a fan of Elian. I'm not sure what it was about him, but nah. I didn't like him.
Honestly though, Lira. I loved her. I loved her conviction, her scheming, her strength, her sense of purpose. She is a hard character, and I loved that about her. At times I wanted to skip Elian's chapters to read more from her.
I did struggle with the descriptions. They weren't clear enough for me to picture the sirens or the mermaids or even the places. I think this is probably down to the length of the book - there just isn't space for more description. Which is a shame, because I am a huge fun of description and would rather too much than too little. I know that people who are all about the action will love it though.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a dark re-imagining of The Little Mermaid, who isn't a fan of a huge amount of description. It's fast paced and packed with action.
