3.5 stars. I mostly enjoyed this but I didn’t love it and I had been expecting to. I enjoyed Elian and Lira and the sparks between them and thought their characters were well thought out. I liked the author’s take on mermaids as distinct from sirens. For some reason, I found my attention kept slipping and the story felt too long- a sure sign something doesn’t line up, although I’m hard pressed to say what it is.
3 stars. Cool concept but I was not invested in the characters at all. They felt so generic and basic YA character like. The writing was fine, the pacing was smooth, and again the plot and setting were really interesting. If only Lira and Elian had been more developed this would’ve gotten a higher rating as it is a fun read. Their romance is fine though and I liked the way it developed. For what it is, this was a pretty cool book and I think it would be great for someone just getting into YA fan
