For this month, my entire TBR is filled with backlist titles that I have in my TBR for a long time and will finally visit for today. First on my list is Alexandra Christo's To Kill a Kingdom.

I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about this book since it was released last year because it was a very genius retelling of our beloved Little Mermaid and being in tha nostalgic part of the year when almost all of childhood Disney movies re being remade, I braved myself for another venture down the memory lane with applauded Disney's beloved mermaid retelling.

I love that Alexandra successfully built a world that perfectly fit mermaids and kingdom. The world building was absolutely fantastic that it is unquestionable all throughout the journey. The battle between the underground creatures under the powerful Sea Queen and land dwellers led by Midasan's very own Prince Elian is something I looked forward to and the book did not disappoint.

I also like the fact that our main character is a strong and powerful woman in the name of Princess Lira, an heiress to the Diavolos' most powerful position. I love that even if the character is a fruit of fantasy, Alexandra did not forgt to add human interest in her which perfectly fit in the puzzle of the storyline.

Lastly, the fact that all the twists and curveballs presented in the storyline were totally unpredictable is a gamechanger because that's the factor that forced me to flip the pages until I read the last chapters.

Overall, I will be with the majority of the book community in this one and say that this book by Alexandra Christo is on of the best retellings I've ever read. Cheers to more.
