On the whole, though, I enjoyed the story. For sure I read the first scene with her in it and was like, wait, that’s her mom? I guess maybe I just found it a little weird that she was also sort of scripted as the perfect, loving mother in some ways? I don’t know. (See content notes below.) So it wasn’t that she was pure. She definitely is not a morally pure character, as she’s a siren and behaves as sirens in this story universe do. I think I was expecting her to be… more something. The only thing that felt a little bit underwhelming for me had to do with Alosa’s mom. The story scratched all those itches for me, and for the most part, I felt like they all exceeded my expectations. And I was very eager for a confrontation between Alosa and her father, because that definitely needed to happen! I desperately wanted to know what would happen between her and Riden. I really wanted to know how things progressed with the quest to reach the island where Alosa’s mother, the Siren Queen was rumored to live. I finally read the first book in this series a few months ago, and I knew it couldn’t be long before I read the second (and final) one.
