The Siren, the Song and the Spy
Book Review
its compelling plot and well-drawn characters, engrosses the reader in a world of intrigue, espionage and suspense
The Siren, The Song, and The Spy by Maggie Tokuda Hall is a beautifully written tale, aimed at young adult readers, however, I would recommend it to everyone.
The story, with its compelling plot and well-drawn characters, engrosses the reader in a world of intrigue, espionage and suspense. It also contains strong-willed characters with distinct personalities, which adds to the originality of the plot.
This story is much more than just an action novel, moreover, it is a cleverly written, book with an embedded romance – who doesn’t want that?
All in all, this was a very enjoyable read that I couldn’t put down!
About the Book
By sinking a fleet of Imperial Warships, the Pirate Supreme and their resistance fighters have struck a massive blow against the Emperor. Now allies from across the empire are readying themselves, hoping against hope to bring about the end of the conquerors’ rule and the rebirth of the Sea.
But trust and truth are hard to come by in this complex world of mermaids, spies, warriors, and aristocrats. Who will Genevieve – lavishly dressed but washed up, half dead, on the Wariuta island shore – turn out to be?
