![]() ![]() Let's just say it was an undeserving finale and wrap up for this book's potential. My rapt interest briefly returned toward the end of the story, when Elian finds out who Lira really is, but those scenes were followed by the final battle and ending which can be best described as lackluster. And, you guessed it, no swashbuckling shenanigans. ![]() But both Lira's transition to humanity and her slow budding romance with Elian were underwhelming. ![]() ![]() I was expecting a lot more from Lira's complex darkness, a nail-biting romance, and some fun pirate swashbuckling to top it all off. I was riveted through the first quarter of the book, but my enthrallment slowly faded away as the story sailed on (pun intended). It's dark and different, and it paves the way for what I thought would be a fantastic story. Thoughts: This book starts off with a bang. Lira now has to bring back Elian's heart to win her mother's favor and become a siren again. How awesome is that? The story takes off when Lira makes a mistake that pisses off her one-dimensional, evil queen mother, who turns her into a human as punishment. The skinny: You have Lira, a beautiful siren princess who rips royal hearts from their chests with her bare hands, and Elian, a witty pirate prince who makes a successful career out of hunting Lira's kind. ![]()
