To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo

3.5
The story follows Lira, Siren royalty on her quest to steal the heart of the prince number 18. When Lira kills one of her own she gets punished by the Sea Queen and becomes mortal and gets the quest to kill the most powerful prince of the kingdom.
The setting was what made me pick up the book and it was a great choice for a summer fantasy read. I always loved Sirens in video games and other fantasy worlds so it was a very fun read. The story is very straightforward and while I enjoyed the whole setting, characters and story, it was very predictable.
I listened to the audiobook and the POV of Lira and Elian, the female and male main character were read by two different people which I very much enjoyed and what made the story very lively. I overall enjoyed the book but it was nothing mindblowing and I knew what I would get from the beginning. The storytelling was very well done but I hoped for a little more depth and twists in the plot.
