From the Mouths of Sirens (Myths of Revelore) Paperback – May 7, 2022

From the Mouths of Sirens by Abigail Hair is a dark retelling of The Little Mermaid that features military and fighting aspects. The story is all about Saoirse and Rook who are the main characters of the story. They should be more than their titles, and being warriors gave them depth that being a lovestruck prince and princess could never give them. Despite having familiar tropes that are well-loved by readers, the unique and intriguing characters stand out, particularly Saoirse and Rook, who individually are truly intriguing and inspiring individuals on their own. Readers will love the characters even if they don't end up together, because the chemistry between them is one of the story's highlights. The author’s writing style lends itself towards believable, tense conversations that are very genuine with a steady pace that creates rich descriptions and history that builds the world up in a very visual and lived-in way. The book is a solid 4.5 stars but starts a little slow and requires pushing through before it gets intense.
