Review: The Siren
"I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED A COPY FROM THE "RACHEL E. CARTER YA BOOK CLUB ON GOODREADS."
I have to admit, this isn’t what I expected.
The characters are interesting – the two boys made a complicated love triangle, although personally I am rooting for Ashburn. The chemistry between the two is more intense, though Vladimir was also a great guy, leaving everything behind for love.
For the plot – well, from the title I thought she’s going to be a mermaid of some sort, with powers that could lure men to death. Clearly, it wasn’t the case, but I still love this book. I admit at times I am still confused whether it was futuristic or dystopian or a different world altogether. But the plot is fresh; it isn’t something I have read before.
The pace of the story is also good – it wasn’t rushed, except for the first part. I was hoping to read more about Vladimir’s relationship with Lucienne before they went scroll hunting.
There are a lot of interesting turns of events, especially towards the ending, which was a shocking way to end the book. I can’t wait to read the book!
Overall, I’d rate this 5 stars. It’s not like any futuristic book written; it’s a different world but with the same quest to fulfill one’s destiny.
