This one started off extremely slow, and I was lamenting the fact that there will never be another Harrow book to rival The Ten Thousand Doors of January. I was actually considering possibly DNFing in the beginning. It took forever, but thankfully it picked up right around the 35% mark. And when it picked up, it picked up HARD!! If it weren’t for the extremely slow beginning, this absolutely would have been a 5 star book for me. Anyway, from […]

Well, that was certainly an ending. For the most part this book was pretty dull. It’s a lot of buildup for a rather disappointing climax. First, I do want to say: The audiobook is fantastic! All my stars are for the narration. I am 100% certain I never would have made it through this book if I hadn’t been listening. It’s in epistolary format (if you want a good epistolary, just read Illuminae instead), and I did see that some […]

Welp, I finally read this book. And I know with absolute certainty that I would not have finished it if it weren’t for the audio. How can a book be so boring when it’s not even 200 pages long?! And did I read a different book than everyone else did?!?! The writing was dull, the characters were dull, and the story should have been interesting but it just wasn’t. The audio, though? Literally all the stars I would give this […]

I’m going to be completely honest: I never would have looked twice at this book. I didn’t even really know about its existence (or anything about it, for that matter). But, it was my book club’s pick for the month, so I checked out a sample of the audio…and realized that an octopus was a narrator. I was instantly intrigued! I went in with little to no expectations, and the result is that this book absolutely broadsided me. I did […]

This book was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! I didn’t love it like I’d hoped I would, but I still enjoyed it for the most part. The narration was great! I think without listening I wouldn’t have enjoyed this very much tbh and may have considered DNFing. The narrator reminded me a lot of Pippa’s narrator in Good Girl’s Guide (one of my fave audiobooks!). It started off kinda slow, but there was enough intrigue and suspense to […]
