To Kill A Kingdom is the perfect story for anyone who loves morally grey characters set in a deadly fairy tale. In the end, he was able to travel instead of hunt and visit Lira as often as he liked. He didn’t have to fret about sirens hunting humans or losing his love, Lira. What Elain got in this story was peace he no longer had to worry about giving up what he loved. He knew he would one day have to give up his life on the sea, but it was easy to see that sacrifice weighed heavily on his shoulders. He loved his life on the Saad with his pirate crew, but his duty as heir to Midas burdened him. Prince Elain started the book torn between two worlds.
She realized her life did not have to be dictated by her past and that she could be loving and vulnerable while still being a good ruler.
A peaceful reign for not only the sea kingdom of Keto but for the 100 other kingdoms on land. Instead of forcing the sirens and other merfolk to obey her, she gave them their freedom and in return they devoted themselves to her and her new reign. 'To Kill A Kingdom' is a darker version of a classic that we all know and love. But by the end, she remembered the promise she made to her aunt – to become the queen the sea needed – and that’s just what she did. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. In the beginning, her only purpose was to kill princes and try to earn the Sea Queen’s favour. To Kill a Kingdom Alexandra Christo 358 pages first pub 2018 ( editions) fiction fantasy young adult adventurous dark medium-paced Description Dark and romantic YA fantasy about the siren with a taste for royal blood and the prince who has sworn to destroy her. I like how Christo wrote Lira’s character development. While they represented the little mermaid and her prince from the fairy tale, they couldn’t have been more different from their predecessors. Lira, the Sea Queen’s heir and deadliest siren of all, and Prince Elain, the siren-hunting prince of Midas, were the two main characters in To Kill A Kingdom. She created believable and interesting folklore that kept me wanting more. I enjoyed reading about these sea creatures and how Christo unpacked the legend behind the sirens and their reason for killing.
The mermen were the most terrifying of all – carnivorous sea creatures that did the bidding of the vile Sea Queen, never questioning their duty or their purpose. Her mermaids were not pretty at all but still obsessed with humans. The two become close, even with Lira keeping her Siren secret. But due to the circumstances that take place in the book, Lira becomes human and spends a lot of time with Elian. With Lira being a siren, and Elian being a siren-hunter, they are natural sworn enemies. She created sirens that were beautiful but deadly, collecting the hearts of the humans they murdered. Is To Kill A Kingdom enemies-to-lovers Yes. In this deadly twist on an old fairy tale, To Kill A Kingdom tells the story of monsters who lurk above and below the waves and those who will risk everything to see their reign of terror ended.Īlexandra Christo’s take on The Little Mermaid surprised me.
