Thank you HiddenGemsBooks.com for the ARC of this book.
In a world where magic is punished by death by an evil king, Nola, a siren with adoptive human parents, embarks on an adventure to see the Fae Queen and save the dying world. To secure a passage through the seas, she ends up on Captain Lincolns ship and develops feelings for him.
I love pirates. I love elves and sirens and magic and even evil kings (because someone's got to do the job). The story was lovely and the various lands she discovered on the way were enchanting. However the romance element just wasn't it for me. It felt very lukewarm and lacking passion. It read a bit like the author wasn't sure what it actually feels like to be in love.
But even despite that, I enjoyed the story itself, nice fantasy adventure, a bit different than what I've read before.
