Overwhelming and underwhelming

Siren Queen had all the potential to be a book that I would love. When I first saw the first impression I was sold, I need more of the story. So when I was lucky enough to win the raffle I was super excited to get into the story more. The writing was solid and it had beautiful and thoughtful quotes however, that was about the only thing I ended up liking. I knew this was fantasy with historical fiction and that wasn't the problem. For me, the problem was that the was no rhyme or reason for the magical element and the plot really didn't move a lot.

Every time I went to pick the book up it felt like a chore. I wasn't excited to read it, as a reader I want to immerse myself in things that I enjoy. I guess this book just went a bit over my head, and I was just left confused most of the time. I also didn't really feel like the romance was truly a romance, it felt forced.

I'm sure that this book will be loved by many, but it just wasn't it for me.
