Maybe it was the frozen maturity of the Sirens – who are meant to be well past 50 years old, yet still acting like superficial teens. The mythology is solid, but there is something about this story that I can’t quite identify that it missed. I liked how it explored the themes of control, abuse, loneliness and depression. It drew me into the narrative well enough and kept me engaged, but wasn’t what I would call outstanding. But as Kahlen begins to question why things are as they are, will it mean her death or the destruction of the things she holds most dear? The work of a Siren is isolating and deadly – calling sailors to their death. The mythology of Sirens is interpreted in this young adult centric world of partying and pretty dresses. ![]()
