Author Biography Alexandra Christo decided to write books when she was four and her teacher told her she couldnt be a fairy. She has a BA in Creative Writing and works as a copywriter in London, both of which make her sound more grown up than she feels. When shes not busy making up stories, she can be found buying far too many cushions and organizing food crawls all over the city.Alexandra currently lives in Hertfordshire with an abundance of cacti (because theyre the only plants she can keep alive).Follow her on Twitter: @alliechristo and Instagram: alexandrachristowrites Review This book is full of adventure, flirtation, sass, betrayal, disguise, growth, duty, fate and a hint of pirate swashbuckling fun. I highly recommend this novel as an excellent adaptation of the Little Mermaid that has managed to become its own story in the process * Mythic Reader *To Kill a Kingdom is the The Little Mermaid of your nightmares... you should definitely add this one to your to read lists! Lira is an absolutely riot! * Beautiful Bookland *I really, really, loved this book. Theres not enough books out there which go into the underwater-fantasy genre. To Kill a Kingdom fills that gap in the market. Its well written and the characters are simply brilliant * Life Has A Funny Way *I thoroughly enjoyed this book * Much Ado About Books *This was AWESOME. Its so rare to find well-developed second-world fantasy YA standalones - but this book managed to deliver a great story, three-dimensional characters and excellent world-building all within one single novel * Astolat Books *This is actually a harder review to write than I anticipated; I literally just want to write a page of "I love it, I love it, I love it" and squeal with excitement as I reminisce over this incredible book and suffer through my book hangover! I cant recommend To Kill A Kingdom highly enough; it certainly lives up to the expectation and can certainly rival incredible fantasy books such as those by Maas and Bardugo, and I cant wait to see what Christo writes in the future! * Snaily Can Fly *a glorious new book for your YA fantasy shelf * Library Looter *It has everything! Banter, sass, chemistry, pirates, adventure, action, a bitch queen mother, incredible world-building, consistent plot and pacing and awesome character arcs and progression. Ultimately, it is incredibly fun and entertaining. Just read it. * Emmas Chapter *Alexandra Christos debut is much better than anything Maas has ever written. Definitely a book that I can see turning into a big hit with readers. * Mystic Reads *The world building is deft, and the spectacular ending is a happy one for Lira and Elian, but it will leave readers blissfully wanting more. * Bulletin for the Center of Childrens Books * Promotional From the author of TO KILL A KINGDOM comes the first in a spectacular fantasy duology, in a world thriving with black magic.
