5/28/2023 0 Comments The siren book kiera cass![]() ![]() ![]() I put off reading this book because, having read the original, I didn’t really feel the need to. While the original may have been a little cheesier as it was more in line with a traditional happily-ever-after ending, it felt more grounding and had more finality to it. I didn’t really care for the new ending with the mysterious illness, maybe it’s from having read the original, but it felt very out of place. ![]() ![]() (Not to say that is method is always best, but in this case, they needed their individual moments to shine.) When Akinli hears Kahlan’s voice for the first time, and when he almost gets taken by the ocean were originally completely separate scenes, and each was more impactful because of it. Interestingly, there was a moment in the new version that felt like the approach of a film adaptation, where it took 2 scenes from the original and combined them into 1. In the original, Kahlan and Akinli spent much more time together doing a variety of different things, which led to their love for each other being much more convincing ❤️. Again, the context of the meeting was mentioned in the new version, but never explored. Kahlan and Akinli’s brief run-in with each other on the beach wasn’t just great foreshadowing, it made sense within the context of their own personal stories prior to their actual meeting. ![]()
