Wake, Siren: Ovid Resung by Nina MacLaughlin

3.0

When I first started Wake, Siren, I honestly thought I'd be adding it to my favorite books of the year. That didn't change for a while, but the stories unfortunately lost motivation and drive in the second half, and finishing felt more like a chore. There were so many great lines and female narrators during that first section, and I loved MacLaughlin's decision to include modern-day language in some, while keeping others grounded in myth; this made the stories more diverse and entertaining, especially when the characters had such distinct voices. By the time I was roughly halfway in, though, the retellings and voices became somewhat monotonous.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
