After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Slow start but interesting end!
Revisado: 04-02-25
Did not like the narrator change in style. I thought it was a different person. Slow start and very winding start but came together at the end to a cliffhanger, as usual for this series.

Feels like no resolution
Revisado: 03-10-23
The story was interesting. Although the POV from the characters chosen was odd. The end felt rushed with almost no closure or insight into the children the story is focused around.

It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?

An interesting story but feels like an allegory
Revisado: 07-11-22
It’s enjoyable and the performance is good. But all I can think of hearing the whole story is the strings are just an allegory for COVID-19. Arriving around the world in mid March of an election year and no one knows what to do. Makes people re-examine their lives and how they live. Maybe short strings being people at high risk for Covid and long ones people less likely to be really sick? Not sure there but really it feels like a Covid inspired tale. It’s interesting but very familiar with what everyone has been through the past few years.

Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to become Southern California’s first giraffes. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow.

Touching but sad
Revisado: 04-08-22
This was a great performance and a good story but so many people described it as heartwarming and feel good to me. I found it a bit sad and forlorn. I thought it was an interesting and engaging story. The giraffes really came to life, but overall felt rather lonely for all of the humans endings…

Samantha Moore is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is, both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore. But life for the 23-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction.

Not great. Not the worst.
Revisado: 09-20-20
Dear Mr. Knightley is predictable and not terrible but not particularly great either. The main character has trauma but the way the author tries to address it is in a weird and unrealistic manner. Working in foster care so many ABSURB things said in this books about the way the system works makes it seem like even the smallest amount of googling was too much effort for the writer. Not about how some homes are abusive. That is an unfortunate reality at times. But the way her mom doesn’t see her for 6 year then is reunified because she passed a “exam”. Really some crazy things that I was super annoyed by. But the plot wasn’t bad just easy to see what was happening. Sam’s growth and journey go pretty much as one would expect when you see her in the first chapters by the end, with little surprise for the reader.

Anna Fox lives alone - a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenaged son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble. And its shocking secrets are laid bare.

Interesting story but Extremely slow narration
Revisado: 03-19-19
The story was pretty good. Not so out of the blue but more twists than I expected in the end. But! The narrator speaks. At. The. Pace. Of. A. Snail. I had to listen on 1.5 and even then I didn’t realize I had sped it up at times. Increasing the speed did help and I got through. Overall enjoyable but not my new favorite book in the genre.
