![]() ![]() And I felt that the build-up of their romance was not at all fast. I guess this is what happens when you have to work with your whole races’ literal enemy. ![]() The amount of hate that Lira put into when interacting with Elian was amazing and she was such an amazing character. There was not too much love but I felt that the development they had when going from enemies to lovers was amazing. I loved the relationship between Lira and Elian. She was not your typical princess, she really lived up to her name as the most lethal siren of all and I admired her throughout the whole book. I gave To Kill a Kingdom four stars, absolutely loving what a strong character Princess Lira was. Any siren that has ever killed a human, he will kill. Prince Elian of Midas is the siren killer, ready to kill any siren he comes across. She kills princes in order to take their power and does it with no remorse. To Kill a Kingdom follows Princess Lira, the Princes’ Bane, and the most lethal siren of all is ready to take the hearts of any prince in order to gain power. But when chance happens, they must work together to kill their mutual enemy. In a world full of war, humans versus sirens, the Princes’ Bane hunts the most sought out Prince’s heart and the Siren Killer is out to hunt the Princes’ Bane. ![]() ![]() ![]() The index section lists streets selected flats, walkways and places of interest place and area names National Rail and Metrolink stations.

I get that the idea was that ‘love is only a start and one needs to commit and make accommodations for the other person for a relationship to work out’. But there was too much “magically in love” going on. Rob brought company and support for Brian. The guys spent time together and Brian brought good art & family into the mix for Rob. Love at first sight is all well and good but I felt like something was missing. Partly because the foundation was a little too weak. I got to where I thought they were right to break up and would have been justified in staying that way. While I understand that Brian was going to reject help until he was at rock bottom, he spent too much of the book being a jerk. There were many good elements, especially family and friends offering support but the whole kind of fell apart. This wound up being my least favorite book of the series. ![]() |
