Book Review: Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley

Magonia sweeps the reader into a world mirrored above ours where the sky holds ships whose “sails are made of hum and speed.” Where Stormsharks and Squallwhales mingle. There, in an ocean of sky, you’ll find blue-skinned Magonians and sword-carrying Pirates clashing like waves. There, Tsunamis rise out of singing - waves form from the air, breathed into existence. Ah, how I fell under your siren’s song. Heartbirds, lungs, and hinges all.
