A review by chirson
Siren Queen by Nghi Vo

4.0

Wonderfully assured narrative voice and imaginative worldbuilding (I particularly like how gradually layers of its otherness are revealed - it feels haphazard yet fitting), but the plot itself didn't quite do as much as I wanted it to, seemed oddly flimsier - it's like an origin story rather than story proper, in a way. Good, but didn't quite fill me with wonder the way Vo's shorter novellas have, so far.
