Book Review: Princess of Ice by Nadia Scrieva (Sacred Breath Book 1)

    After being trapped in a gilded cage for centuries by her father the mermaid, Princess Aazuria, has taken matters into her own hands. This means that she has killed her father and along with the help of her sisters and the Ramarus twins they have went to land to make money so they can upgrade their weaponry. An attack on the kingdom is eminent with everything her father did. Dancing in the strip club seems to be a great plan to achieve this until the sea captain Trevain invites she and her sisters to live with him. 

    The pull she fells towards Trevain is undeniable and he feels the same, but they are worlds apart. There seems to way to breach that expanse. Especially when he laughs every time she tries to tell him that she is a mermaid. 

    I wanted to like this book. I really really did. It was a mermaid book and there was a feisty redhead in it, even if she isn't the main character. But the main male character in the book just leaves so much to be desired. He is a man in his 50s who is going after a girl who looks to be 18. Yes, I know that she is over 600, but still. Also, I didn't start to really dislike his character until what he almost did towards the end of the book. I will not say what it was as I don't like spoilers, but I almost stopped reading at that point. That being said, if you can ignore that point in the character as well as are fine with the age issues then you may very well enjoy this book. 

    Aazuria's sisters are polar opposites and the book would be missing something without them. Coral is headstrong and speaks her mind while Elandria is quiet and chooses what she has to impart with care. The Ramarus twins are similar in that way. One is a fearsome warrior and the other is a master off medicine. Together the 5 of them posses everything needed to save a country from the wrongs their now-dead king once inflicted on the underwater world.
