Since the Selection series, I'm a fan of Kiera Cass's writing style and a story about sirens who do the ocean's bidding captured my interest as soon as I read the back of it. This is a standalone book NOT a series.
Siren's serve the ocean for 100 years, willingly, and then go back to "human" life, memories of their lives as a siren forgotten. The book tells the story of one particular siren - Kahlen - who is 80 years into her service.
I love the concept of this story. Kiera has taken all the fables from years past and seamless combines all those tidbits and creates this world where modern day sirens exist. Kahlen is so relatable - tortured and kind and so devoted to the ocean but hates what she has to do. Even the ocean herself you understand her need for sirens and how she takes care of them. It's a beautiful story.
The ending made me cry I'm not gunna lie. Kiera hit a home run with this book and so far it is the best book I've read this year.
RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMED!
