“Book three of the Gideon stable series
paws from my reading buddy, Perry the pug: three
keywords: magical items, magical realism, heists, thieves, contemporary, action, violence
in short: A action packed, sort of James bond style heist with old faces and new. A never slowing story full of twists.
Full review:
The song the sirens sang by Simon R Green is the third book in the Gideon Stable series and it is an enjoyable action packed heist that not only there to save one of the team but to take back the. precious stone that was stolen from Gideon only hours after they had open their new shop of unusual things.
Like a matter of life and death, the song the sirens sang follows a very simile plot line. Gathering a crew, gathering information and pulling off a dangerous heist, despite this familiar idea this is still a fun read with plenty of action, character development and new characters introduced to further following book plots in this series
Although I enjoyed this quick paced read I did struggle with the new character Polly, as the story progressed she seemed to de-evolve and become less real and I'm not sure given the character’s age that its the right move and response, it's an odd situation Simon has chose to put her in and have her very easily agree to, I feel this would have been better if the group involved had agreed to a poly relationship instead as this is definitely the vibe I was getting from both of them all the way through the book and its going to feel really weird to me when they reappear in other books.
Despite this problem there wasn’t really much wrong with this supernatural adventure apart from maybe just not feeling as real as the previous two and the story not leaning as much into the siren’s legend as I expected. This book is full of action, twists that even I couldn’t guess and plenty of hints to more future heists that could be in the making, if you want a quick read with a sprinkling of supernatural happenings I’d recommend this book but just don’t expect to be blown away.
Although this didn’t shake the ground I stand on I’m still looking forward to the next book, not of this world, and will buying it as soon as it hits the shelves.”
