This was my first book by this author. It took me about 30% till I could get into the story. It was difficult to connect to the characters and to understand the pacing. I also struggled to decipher the difference between some of the characters.  Once I could grasp the concept, the story began to unfold before me. I could appreciate the characters better. 

I highly recommend for those who love magical realism. 

The narrator did a good job giving emotions and capturing the magical portion. 

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillian Audio for the opportunity to listen to The Sirens by Emilia Hart.
