A review by amlibera
The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee

3.0

I liked this book a lot more than I expected to and a lot less than I wanted to. Ultimately something about the events and motivations of the characters did not ring true to me. There can still be truth in exaggerated melodrama or grand tragedy or absurdist extremity and there are moments within this grand and complicated story that do and then so very many that don't.
