Audiobook Review: Seven Faceless Saints by M.K. Lobb

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on June 12, 2023 | 0 Comments

As I write this review, it’s been exactly 3 days since I finished this book, and I already barely remember a thing. I had to put actual effort into remembering what happened – probably because nothing happened in this entire freaking book. The plot was non-existent, the world building was mediocre, and the magic system was half-assed. Pair that with slow pacing, vapid characters, and a horrible romance (that unfortunately took over the entire story) and it’s no wonder I don’t remember […]

Audiobook Duology Review: Unearthed by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

I don’t know why I waited so long to read this book, it was so fun! It was kind of a mash up of The 100 (season 7 specifically), Skyrim, and Tomb Raider. I loved the setting being on another planet in an alien temple full of puzzles. So cool! Those scenes made me want to play Skyrim! The world was absolutely my favorite part of this book and I had no problem picturing it all in my head. I […]

Audiobook Review: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

This is the kind of book that I would never in a million years expect to work for me. It’s cliche, predictable, generic, and chock full of tropes…but I loved it! No one is more shocked than me to be completely honest. I usually hate the crazy hyped stuff that everyone loves, but this one? Well, there’s a reason for all the hype! The writing is superb! In the beginning when there wasn’t much happening, the writing was enough to keep me […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Together We Burn, Luminaries, Princess of Souls

While this book didn’t necessarily stick with me, the concept was awesome! DRAGONADORS!! Like matadors, but with dragons! Fucking awesome, dude. It was unlike anything I’ve ever read before! I adored the dragon parts of this story and appreciated the Spanish culture, but the emotion was just not there for me. I would have liked to have connected to the characters and the story much more than I did. Especially considering there were dragons! The romance didn’t do it for […]

Audiobook Review: Fairy Tale by Stephen King

This isn’t my first King novel – I read the first two Dark Tower books and half of the third (and just…never finished, oops. I hit a suuuper boring part and never picked it back up again *shrugs*). I have to admit that I find his books intimidating, not only because they’re always HUGE but also because he’s SO hyped and I’m a black sheep. Baa. However, this one really worked for me! It’s almost two different stories in one, […]

Audiobook Review: In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune

After Cerulean Sea, I would have picked this up regardless (even though I wasn’t a huge fan of Under the Whispering Door); but at YALLfest I saw him on a panel where he talked about the book and said it had a sentient Roomba with anxiety. And I KNEW I needed it asap! Said Roomba and the other sidekick robot, Nurse Ratched, were by far my favorite part about this book! Rambo the vacuum was adorably anxious and needy, which […]
