4.5/5 stars
The cover to this book drew me in like no other. I'd heard great things about Nghi Vo's work but hadn't had a chance to read any of it yet. When I saw the cover to Siren Queen I felt compelled to shoot it to the top of my TBR.
So happy that I did.
This book is beautifully written. It addresses all the things that are as relevant to today as they were in the 30's - during Hollywood's supposed "golden age". It takes the men of power and turns them into the literal monsters we know them to be. Vo some how manages to address LGBTQ rights, racisms, work inequality between genders, etc all while creating a strange and alluring narrative.
I found myself so drawn into this world and its odd fantasies. Could hardly put the book down!
I look forward to reading more of Vo's work after this. Highly recommend!
I was given an ARC by the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
