It was feeling really a lot like Roleplay writings. The author was telling us the details rather than showing them. But in the book, the descriptions were very unnecessary. The writing style got a lot better towards the middle of the book.
While Elian really has an one track mind (in a weird way) and it is bit of a His side of romance is a lot like suddenly imposed. And also her side of romance is a lot well shown. As she is doing through major developments and questionings. The story is a lot better when told from Lira's side. But if in her place it was anyone else (if they act like that around anyone who stubbles upon them) I would say they are pretty mean people to be acting like that. Though, as it's being told and acted out at Lira. And why they actually thought world revoled around them. And why Kye held him at such and high respect. The book has POV changes as chapters, so that can be confusing.Īlso, the author didn't make it clear why Elian was so protected. But the way the plot moved and the way it ended wasn't too flattering. Now this book has 43 chapters, and you have to read till 20th chapter to actually get the story rolling. The book isn't too thick,the print size is medium.and papers are thick enough. My rate and review is for the book plot and writting. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good-But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy?Alexandra Christo's debut is a dark and richly imagined take on The Little Mermaid that will leave readers breathless.
