I absolutely loved it. One of my favorites of the series! ( ) 1st reading: I hardly know where to start. I think this may be the author's most inspired, best written work so far. Victoria's background and experiences with her (ex-)husband and her duty to her family interweave with the main plot as she learns to let go of her past and accept that she is deserving of happiness and love, that she is worth more than just a sacrifice for the well-being of others. And yet her ultimate fate, and that of her lover, Ilryth, whose own history resonates with Victoria's, is a self-sacrifice that saves the world. Such a beautiful story. 1st reading: I hardly know where to start. I think this may be the author's most inspired, best written work so far.

And yet her ultimate fate, and that of her lover, Ilryth, whose own history resonates with Victoria's, is a self-sacrifice that saves the world. Such a beautiful story. So, I have mixed thoughts on this book. 🤔 There were parts that I liked and parts that I felt were drawn out or too forced. The MC's had exemplary traits despite their traumas. Victoria is self-sacrificing, strong, and courageous. Ilryth is patient, loyal, and tenderhearted. I liked his willingness to take risks and break rules to follow his heart. In many ways, their relationship is an epic love story that had me teary-eyed; Victoria embraced love for herself and another, and both healed from past hurts. However, at the same time, I felt disconnected, like something was missing, yet some parts dragged. It is hard to put my finger on. But my main reason for being mixed on this book was the spice level. I may be in the minority, but what I like about this series is Kova's worldbuilding, interesting storylines, and the promise of a happily ever after, but not so much the smutty romance, and the spice level was a bit MUCH for me. 😖 It's not my thing; I skipped through most scenes. Like many other readers, I found this to be the most disappointing installment in the series to date... I didn't really connect with Victoria (although I did empathize with her situation). Ilryth was decent and I didn't dislike their love story. That being said, I still really enjoyed the rest of the series, but this book just didn't click with me.

Victoria risks everything to leave a dangerous marriage and gain a second chance at life. But when her escape goes awry, she finds herself caught in the strong embrace of a mysterious siren, forced to choose: temporary salvation or immediate death. And so, a cursed deal is struck. Five years later, Victoria is alive -- and the world's finest ship captain. But her debt to the siren looms while her conniving ex has demanded a king's ransom as the final price of her freedom. Victoria refuses to cause her family to suffer any more on her behalf, and is determined to make things right before her time is up. But that time is cut short. The siren comes for her. Six months early. Taken to the magical and deadly Eversea, home of the sirens, Victoria discovers she's the sacrifice upon which all sirens pin their hopes. If they want to appease an angry god and save a world on the brink of destruction, then they need her. Which gives her the perfect leverage. Victoria strikes a new bargain: the Siren Duke will help save her family, and she'll fulfill his demands. It's a good bargain until a flicker of passion ignites in the scarred remnants of Victoria's heart, threatening all she's worked for. As the sacrifice for the God of Death, she's meant to give up everything that draws her to the world of the living. But that's impossible when all she can think about is how this handsome siren's song, and his hands, make her feel very much alive. In a realm of ancient magic, submerged secrets, and forgotten gods, can love find a place among shattered hearts as they race against time and the blossoming of forbidden desires? Or will the delicate songs of their hearts be silenced once and for all? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
