To Kill a Kingdom

The writing was mediocre and I didn't feel attached enough to the characters. My first thoughts were that this may be a dystopia retelling of The Little Mermaid and I was right. The story was mostly boring and I had to really push myself to continue to flip the pages and read on. I wish the author would've provided more substance and context on why certain characters were the way they were or felt the way they did. Everything was very surface level, maybe that's why I couldn't connect to the characters, specifically the protagonists. Not a book I'm glad to have finished.
