Âm est difficile à évaluer.
C'est un récit très court, mais riche en citations poétiques qui font réfléchir, comme la plupart des autres livres de Kim Thúy.

Par moment la romance étaient trop quétaine à mon goût, mais j'ai bien aimé le clash de culture entre les deux personnages. L'inclusion de codes QR menant à la trame sonore de la pièce pour chacune des parties offrait aussi une autre dimension différente d'une lecture traditionnelle. Avec les coups de crayon (de Noé?) à travers les pages, c'est beaucoup plus une œuvre d'art qu'un simple livre.

Adaptation de sa première pièce de théâtre. Le roman explore les rencontres amoureuses entre mondes et continents différents, célébrant la diversité culturelle et les efforts constants pour entretenir l’amour une fois trouvé.
