Here are some bullet points in a foolish attempt to keep my thoughts organized: It’s not just about romantic love but love in general - for yourself, for those around you, for your life and your surroundings.

But I REALLY think y’all will love it whether or not M/M is typically your thing. It is a gay romance, which I know is a less popular genre on here.

Despite these shortcomings, the novel is fairly well written and offers a twist on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" that romance fans will enjoy. Secondary characters aren't as intriguing or fully developed. Teens will appreciate her passion for her relationships-whether romantic or sisterly. Overall, the heroine is a meek character, but her muddled past, thoughts, and actions make her slightly interesting. Her sisters, along with the Ocean, watch her soul and body deteriorate the longer she is away from Akinli, who appreciates the true Kahlen, aside from her beauty and silence. However, when the protagonist falls in love with Akinli, a human boy, her responsibility to care for her sisters (also sirens) and the Ocean becomes a complicated task. Sirens are the few young women whose lives she saves from death in order to keep her fed. The Ocean is a motherly being who feeds off lives that drown in her waters. After becoming a siren 80 years ago, she is still unable to subdue the disgust and shame she feels while taking innocent lives in order to feed the Ocean. ![]() Gr 7 Up-Kahlen still has trouble adjusting to the life of a siren. ![]() ![]() ![]() And when our little one turned 8, Annie was just turning 8!Īnnie’s brave and smart, kind and loves animals.

In modern humans, the lowered larynx isn't in position from birth. But with Homo sapiens food and drink must pass over the larynx on the way to the gullet and thus there is a constant risk that some will be inadvertently inhaled.
