Son of the Siren by Kristina Elyse Butke
3.0

“Son of the Siren,” by Kristina Elyse Butke

Lirien, half-siren, lives as a human prince until his father is taken to the sea by his siren mother. In an attempt to get him back he tries to sing the siren song, but the song causes his stepmother to become obsessed with him. When he turns her down, she uses dark magic to get him to love her. It ended up causing Lirien’s siblings to turn into to animals and spread across the land. Lirien goes on an adventure to find them and turn them back to humans.

An adventurous book focused on the morals and coming-of-age of the main character through the epic quest. I think it’s a good book for teens, boys and girls because the main character is a boy, but the story has lots of fairytales that girls are traditionally drawn to. The romance (thinking a girl is cute) is sweet and light which makes it a good book for teens on the younger side. I wish the main character was more emotional, he is very stoic and a matter of fact. 3 out of 5 stars, fun adventure.
