Oh boy, what a wonderful, temptuous, sexys world. Nghi Vo manages to take the stuffy boring posh of Gatsby and turn it into a seductive tale told through the lens of a reimagined Jordan Baker.

A young Vietnamese woman, she delicately weaves her way though the ultra wealth white upper class, navigating racism and identity along the way. But she also explores the queerness and magic that is woven into this retelling. Here gay clubs are safely disguised under magical barriers, people sell their souls to demons for wealth and power, Gatsby's parties are entertained by carnivals of living paper and enchanted to keep the night young and happy.

The story stays true to the classic narrative but it's where it charts it own course that it truly shines. It certainly left me wanting more from these mystical roaring 20s.
