I really wanted to like it

Revisado: 08-11-24

Peter is by far the most interesting character, and the story suffers by not having him in it very much for the first half of the book.

I was really interested, I loved Cemetery Boys and the premise sounded good. but I never really got hooked, Wendy is honestly a little dull and it's clear she still needs a ton of therapy. I'm not giving it a terrible rating because I seem to be in the minority and because I didn't finish. it just felt like work to listen to.

maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did, I'm going to try the Sunbearer Trials instead.

the world building was really well done and the main character is super relatable for me

semi spoiler ahead:



I was really hoping for a royal wedding, and to see some responses, but I do understand why it ended where it did.

I rather like dual narrators

Revisado: 06-23-24

It's not as good as a fun radio theater style reading, but particularly with POV shifts, I do like when the characters are narrated by different people.

the story is short and cute, both characters are endearing and it has a sweet ending. it's not long so it's good for an afternoon listen ~

an excellent body horror experience

Revisado: 04-03-24

As a transmasc autistic with severe anxiety, it is extremely rare to hear almost my exact point of view in a character. the biggest departure being surgery and human anatomy as a special interest.

This book is brutally honest without engaging in torture porn and is a thrilling experience. I do not know if it would hit someone who does not view the world through this lens as hard, but I hope it would instill a spirit of empathy. The horrific practices centered around a fantastical premise still happen for different reasons, even today.

But take care, this books trigger warnings should be taken very seriously.

witty dialogue, excellent action scenes

Revisado: 02-17-24

I love the main character and her dynamic with Harrow. I love the casual world building that does not over explain itself, trusting us to be smart enough to keep up. I was surprisingly pleased with the end, I was afraid it would end in don't terrible cliche, but the author neatly wrapped things up in a very interesting manner and with enough loose ends that it would be interesting to return to the world (particularly from a new character POV).

first time experiencing the story

Revisado: 11-11-21

the narrator did a good job conveying the emotions of the characters. the book can be a bit tedious as it favors monologues and soliloquies over proper dialog. But I think that's just a style of the time.

Enjoyable, but NSFW

Revisado: 01-12-20

The spicy scenes were a little gruff for my tastes, but everything else was enjoyable. The story is interesting and the characters are compelling.

Most enjoyable

Revisado: 09-21-19

Well written and a pretty quick listen. I think it's fair to warn that there is some spicy stuff, so maybe best listened to with headphones. The story is good, not too predictable and with that fun air of just-not-quite fantasy.
