Siren Queen

Nghi Vo never fails to impress me with how the magic weaves effortlessly between her words. I loved her retelling of The Great Gatsby narrated by Natalie Naudus and I loved this just as much with the same narrator--I can definitely understand how this book led into that one in terms of setting Even though they're very much their own stories.

I loved the passion, the grace, the betrayals and lies, and most of all, I loved the fires. Excellent book. I can't wait to read another one of her books again soon.

There's an interesting world here, enough so that I did enjoy reading this book, but I never ended up caring much what happened to the characters. So it was pleasant enough but never really reeled me in.

I think this is just how I feel about Vo's writing in general, because I remember having a pretty similar reaction to The Empress Of Salt And Fortune. I can see what people who love her writing see in it, but it just isn't for me.
