Wake, Siren is trigger warnings galore. The first half was a real gut punch with some stories hard to get through. As you move on from story to story though it feels like at one point the voices kind of blend together and you don’t really get the feeling of every story having an individual voice. 

Also the flowing between these tragic lyrical stories to more modern day telling was a bit jarring and don’t think the modern day worked for some stories. Overall it was a powerful read though.
