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.

this was such an enjoyable and different read for me, i really enjoy fairy tale adaptations and i definitely saw the little mermaid in this albeit a darker version with both mcs being very morally grey (lira i support your rights and your wrongs)
ultimately this has half dragged me out of the depths of the worst reading slump ever which is definitely to be commended

The character development in this book is what kept me reading, particularly that of Lira who’s story was one of self discovery however Elian was a little flat and two dimensional.
The first half of this book was rather slow and I feel there was a lot more world and character building that could have been captured, having a world with 100 kingdoms and only touching on (not even really detailing) 4 of them seems like a missed opportunity and there were so many interesting secondary characters that could have been further explored to add intrigue
After all the hype this book had on booktok it just felt a little bit flat
