So this is A dark fantasy about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her.
This book had one of the most powerful line to start a book with!!
But it took a road that I didn’t enjoy

I took a while to get into this book but I really enjoyed it once it got going! The end was a little quick but overall a satisfying read

About a hundred pages in, I realized I don't like fantasy, but I kept reading because I didn't not like it yet and The Little Mermaid was one of my favorite movies as a child. This was the first YA fantasy romance sub plot that didn't make me cringe or roll my eyes, the characters were great and their relationship progression felt genuine and realistic. The main plot was solid but a little hard to follow at times but I think that was just me, and the world building was fun! This will most likely be the last fantasy book I read for a while and I'm glad I got to end here.
