So until I get it fixed there will be minimal posting from me. It took me tremendous patience trying to edit this pic with a screen that froze every 10 seconds. By the way guys, I'm having problem with my laptop 😞. 📖 #CurrentlyReading: To Kill a Kingdom by #AlexandraChristo. This review is also available on Goodreads. It would appeal to readers who enjoy darker re-imagined fairytale with minimal romance.

To Kill A Kingdom is a story of ambitions and rising above. I think about how different it feels, to be a new kind of soldier, earning loyalty by saving lives instead of destroying them. It could benefit from a darker and lusher feel. However I wanted more epicness when it comes to the action scenes and the writing. I liked how the author reinterpreted the fairytale with darker undertone. Either I try to kill him now, or I wait to kill him after, but there’s no path I’ve mapped out for myself that doesn’t end alongside his life.

I know whichever plan I go with will lead to his death. I love the path he chose for himself and how he handled his crew. With khol rimmed eyes and princely attitude, Elian was hard to resist. Loyalty is mockery and devotion is kinship in place of fear. However, I wanted to see more of her supposed viciousness before that happened.Įverything is a game to him. I like seeing her humanity “breaking” her down. She was a villain with a ruthless reputation. Lira wasn’t a Disney princess, that’s for sure. When I chose to read this book, I didn’t realize it’s based on The Little Mermaid which happens to be my favorite fairytale. Little did he know his latest adventure might cost him his heart.
