Initially being punished by her mother and made human to take Elians heart. They wind up hunting for a jewel that in human hands could end the sirens and in sirens hands end the humans but the outcome is neither and you’ll have to read to find out.
Somewhat of a slow burn enemies to lovers too I enjoyed this fantasy despite it not pertaining the kind of magic and format I love in fantasy normally it was amazing and very well written and one to stay on my shelf for a lifetime.

(4 stars, truly)
ok, basics: i loved this book. It had phenomenal world building, amazing descriptions for everything and everyone, it truly is a great book. but it felt like everything was so dragged out during descriptions or things were raggedy: for example, Lira's memory retellings. Granted, there probably weren't any smooth ways to put in what Lira was forced to do, I feel like where it was inserted was just on a whim.
This is a morbid and bloody twist on my favorite "Disney Princess" from when I was 6, Ariel from the Little Mermaid. (for anyone who cares my favorite today is Tiana (Princess and the Frog)). Definitely not for the faint of heart with everything that goes down and it's descriptiveness it ends up being, but it takes an interesting line of sirens V mermaids, and sirens V humans/pirates and morphs it into something more. It's an action-packed, sword-wielding, heart-clenching, screaming-into-your-pillow type of read.
SPOILERS BELOW (PROCEED WITH CAUTION?)
pros and cons
extra too descriptive with every little thing and sometimes got repetitive
STRONG LEADS!!!
fight scenes were all clear and grueling and brutal and descriptive!
Elian's response to the betrayal.
how did they fall in love????
