![]() I could not put this book down and, in fact, read it all in one sitting. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most – a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. Christo has taken the often Disney-fied version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and completely turned this story on its tentacles. That is NOT the case with Alexandra Christo‘s To Kill a Kingdom. That being said, just because you twist a well-known tale into a new story doesn’t make it unique, and many times the new version is simply not interesting enough to hold my attention. ![]() ![]() ![]() New twists on familiar fairy tales are totally in right now. To Kill a Kingdom is not the Little Mermaid story you remember, but it’s a story that you will fall in love with. ![]()
