Lies we sing to the sea6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s a story focused on characters and choice. The pacing of this – while we were on a clock the whole time – felt a bit slow and I wasn’t sure what options they had, the characters were the best part of the story. Lies We Sing to the Sea ends up being focused on their dilemmas, their relationships, and their own past. Not only did I ship these two, but their stories were complex. ![]() Unpredictably, Leto and Melantho were my favorite characters. While the deaths weigh on his conscience, and he’s lost his own sister, Lies We Sing to the Sea doesn’t let anyone escape unaffected. He’s privilege, a prince, and is forced to witness the hanging each year. With that framework, it took me a long time to warm up to Mathias. And how they’re never the ones to pay the price. How rulers and heroes escape punishment and death. In the ways these maids, these women, were wronged. Beginning with the tale of the Twelve Maids, it has a foundation in inequality. Lies We Sing to the Sea‘s strength are the characters. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. ![]()
