No place they travel to feels underwhelming, each location is just as fascinating as the last, but for entirely different reasons. All the lands that the characters go to are extremely well described, and you can just tell that they hold a rich history, even if there isn’t much time to delve into them. This book takes place in a fantasy world filled with various kingdoms, each with their own myths and legends. When Lira is cursed by her mother, she is made human and told to bring back the heart of the siren killer, but first, she must win over his trust. Elian has made it his life’s goal to end the Prince’s Bane and sirens altogether. Lira has developed a name for herself as heir to the throne and siren princess, the Prince’s Bane, for every year she kills one prince and steals his heart. To Kill A Kingdom is a loose retelling of The Little Mermaid, following Lira, the daughter of the Sea Queen, and Elian, prince of Midas, pirate, and ruthless siren killer. “They celebrate love as though it’s power, even though it has killed far more humans than I ever have.” I would recommend this to any fantasy fan, or anyone looking for a dark twist on a classic. Review In A Nutshell: To Kill A Kingdom has a breathtaking writing style, diverse and interesting characters, and an amazing world filled with myth and magic.
