Hollywood and science fiction combine into a novel with a queer protagonist? Yes, please. In Siren Queen we meet Luli, a Chinese American girl who wants nothing more than to be successful in the Hollywood movie business. In this coming-of-age story both Luli and the reader discover the magical world that truly runs Hollywood and what Luli is willing to sacrifice to succeed as a famous movie star.
I really enjoyed the slower pace of the book and the ways that magic appeared subtly at first then evolved into major components of the story. This was a quirky and unexpected plotline that was great in audio format.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review – I enjoyed reading it!
