A review by vannahreadsalot
Of Song and Scepter by Liesl West

3.0

NOTE: I gave this three stars only because it wasn’t really my cup of tea, so I didn’t finish it. That is no reflection of the author’s writing.

Her writing throws you into the immersive world of Adria without bogging you down with world-dumping. Enna and Soren give me major reverse grumpy/sunshine vibes. I really loved how enamored Soren was with Enna upon first meeting her “dancing” on the and.

Enna gives me big Nesta Archeron energy with a back story that fed into the life she lives now. Young Enna was forced into impossible situations and she handled it as best she could.


This is a dark retelling of the Little Mermaid. There’s explicit language and explicit sex scenes. I really appreciated that the author gives you a guide to which chapters contain the sex scenes, if you’re looking for them or you want to avoid them.
