A haunting and evocative exploration of sisterhood intertwined with the power and mystery of the sea. The Sirens weaves together differing perspectives and timelines, slowly unraveling the threads of each story with a captivating sense of inevitability. Some aspects of the plot surprised me and kept me engaged; however, I would say that the pacing occasionally lagged, which might deter some readers. Overall though, the eerie nature of Lucy’s predicament and the nods to siren mythology kept me thoroughly engaged until the end.
I read this in August last year not long after finishing Weyward, which was also great! Huge thanks to the publisher (Borough Press) for an advance copy.
