I couldn't find a tag for this, but there were many times when Alosa used her Siren abilities against the will of the person she used them on.nicholettegm's review against another edition

The characters said exactly what they meant and wanted and felt, except Alosa. Levels of clear communication and self-awareness that would be commendable in real people but all the conflict that is supposed to come from those missed connections just evaporated with little to replace it.
Again, entertaining, kept me engaged enough to read it in a day, but when the only moment I felt tense was when
It's a shame because I did enjoy all the individual tropes, this should have been an easy win. Just goes to show, tension serves a purpose.

In the first book it's not that obvious too but I don't like the way this series portrays men as evil and dangerous and the language, plus some of the gendered mechanics of mermaids rubs me the wrong way.
