To kill a kingdom book age rating7/30/2023 ![]() And thats not enough to sway you from reading this with your child, letting them read it and reading it yourself as an adult. As for the N word, good opportunity to teach your kid how hideous the word is and how much painful history is bwhind a word thrown around so carelessly these days. ![]() Thats the extent of the graphic nature of the book. However, of course scout asks calpurnia "what is rape?" To which cal ingeniously responds "ask your dad".to which atticus tells her "carnal knowledge of a woman without her consent". I told her the yules (sp?) Accused tom of attacking maella (sp? Again.cut me some slack, it was the audio! ) and she was satisfied with that. And she has read it twice since, the narrative voice is so appealing and real.Ībout the rape.thats what i was concerned about. Now, I cried like 8 times, she didn't get a lot of the tragedy or poignancy but she loved the adventures of Scout and Jem. She learned so much from the book about history, empathy, human nature, and justice. “Sleep is so cute when it tries to compete with the book I’m reading.I listened to the audio with my 10 year old (Sissy Spacek read it, yes please!!) Everyone thought she was too young. If you’re looking for a feel-good, fantasy standalone book, I would definitely recommend To Kill A Kingdom to you! It’s the perfect book to read in one sitting with the perfect ending too! ![]() The book was never rushed or too slow and at no point did I want to put it down.The secondary characters are well-written and very lovable too! They made the story a hundred times better.This book makes you smile, laugh out loud, cry and feel every emotion Lira and Elian and going through! The story is just amazing! I love how the author didn’t feel the need to create unnecessary conflict just to lengthen the book or make it a series.I loved Lira, the protagonist’s strength- both metal and physical! It was so easy to see both Lira’s and Elian’s opposing point of views and you can relate to their characters so much! Further, Lira and Elian’s banter was just hilarious.But the plot development is so smooth and I couldn’t help but love this book! Further, I found the starting of the book a bit slow. I’ll start off by saying that when the book began, I had no clue how Lira and Elian would manage to overcome their deep-rooted hatred for each other’s species and work together let alone fall in love.She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good-But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears.

Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. Hi!
