Star Bringer DNF @ 5% of audio I made it a whopping FIVE. PERCENT. Lmaoooo. It was 44 minutes, and I listen at almost 2x speed, so I lasted 20 minutes. 🤣 Which is a shame, because there’s multiple narrators (I *swear* the audiobook said Suzy Jackson in the beginning, and I love her, but she wasn’t listed on the title details so maybe I’m just trippin’ lol) and the first couple were decent.

It wasn’t bad or anything, I just didn’t care about a thing that was happening and found the prose to be very dry and boring.

I didn’t like the main character, I found her to be pretentious and exhausting. Didn’t care at ALL about the story or the side characters. The lengthy passages at the beginning of each chapter (flipping between bible verses and science textbook, ugh) were pointless and I skimmed over […]
