The voices were similar enough where I would have to read a paragraph to tell whether Lira or Elian was speaking. I did think the world building was unique and excellent, I always love when there are lots of different kingdoms! I also liked the dual narrative, although I would have liked for each chapter to be labeled (maybe it is in the finished copy).

I can’t put my finger on this book- I enjoyed it a lot but there was something missing for me. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good-But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby-it’s his calling. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all.
