Siren Queen

"It’s pre-Code Hollywood, and Luli Wei wants to be a star. Magic permeates everything in Nghi Vo’s version of the world, with Wild Hunts stalking the backlots and monstrous studio heads devouring the unlucky and the unfavored. To get what she wants without lashing herself to a man’s power, Luli must decide how much of herself she can sacrifice without losing her sense of self completely. Nghi Vo’s prose is gorgeous, like tiptoeing through a book of poetry. She can take even the most ordinary of actions and describe it in a way you never thought of before and do it with heartbreaking beauty and layers of subtext."
