Solid 4 for the setting and the voice. I like how the magic unreality of Hollywood is just a statement of fact here. Luli's character is also a big draw for me. Her choices are sometimes flawed and sometimes just right. More than anything, the mood and the world was magnetic.

Set in a 1930s Hollywood where magic is both essential and dangerous, Siren Queen follows the cinematic career of Luli Wei, who gets her start with a serendipitous bit part and a stolen name. Luli pursues stardom at almost any cost, discovering her own strength and desire along the way. Ultimately, she finds a measure of freedom in her role as a deadly monster, unconstrained by the conventional roles other stars must play both on and off-screen.

That was certainly something. I didn't like it. I didn't hate it either, it just wasn't for me. I just kept thinking "Where is this going?" and it didn't really go anywhere, so maybe that's my own fault for having expectations.
