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

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on June 2, 2023 | 0 Comments

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, […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Wild is the Witch, Belladonna, Our Crooked Hearts

Overall this book was just okay for me. It fell completely in the mediocre middle ground – okay characters, okay world (albeit a bit vague), okay plot. It doesn’t really stand out in the sea of Urban Fantasy and witch books, and there’s nothing really all that special about it; but I did enjoy it while I was listening! The main thing that stood out about this book for me was the owl and the forest setting. Other than that […]

Audiobook Review: Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder

What. T h e. F U C K. did I just read?! I don’t even know how to properly rate this book. This was 10/10 the weirdest, most disturbing book I’ve ever read in my life. It started off fairly normal – a pandemic sweeps across the nation and changes life as everyone knows it (much like COVID) – but then shit starts getting certifiably fucked. It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]

Audiobook Review: Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

Upon finishing this book, my first thought was: Thank god, it’s finally over. This book was exhausting. I really should have DNFed it and I don’t know why I didn’t. I guess because the concept was cool and the ratings were so high, that I kept hoping it would get better? I am saltier than the entire fucking ocean right now. The ratings for this book on Goodreads are insane. Only three percent of them are below 3 stars. What the […]

Mini Audio Reviews: Off Planet, Disasters, Escaping Eleven

I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]
