Bavaria. 1880. Hilde was dreamed into existence by the god Odin, and along with her five sisters, granted cloaks that transform them into swans. Each sister’s cloak is imbued with a unique gift, but Hilde rejects her gift which connects her to the souls of dying creatures and forces her to shepherd them into the afterlife—the “Other Wood.” While guiding the soul of a hawk to the Other Wood, Hilde meets the handsome Baron Maximilian von Richter, whose father was once a favorite of the king and left him no inheritance

(Listened to and reviewed by Nadia Rausa, not Micah). The premise of this book was very interesting, but the writing and characters felt far too YA for me (not to say there aren’t good YA books—I just don’t tend to get into them much). The main character wasn’t super likable, her love interest felt like a stand-in/fill-in character (which is unfortunate since I was excited about them being non-binary), and the antagonist was extremely whiny and not nearly brutal enough for my liking. I’d say if you like folktale-style stories (which I do), but mixed with YA style stories (which I don’t), and have an extra credit, it might be worth it for you. Otherwise, maybe try to get it from your library and save your money (my library didn’t have it in yet, unfortunately).

Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.

Incredible Story & Narration
Revisado: 05-26-23
I absolutely loved this book. Sunyi Dean is an incredible storyteller, and Katie Erich did a fantastic job narrating. I’m glad I got the audiobook, but I am also definitely getting physical copy to have in my personal library. Definitely in my top 5 books now!
In the bonus interview, I loved learning that both author and narrator are neurodivergent and advocate against ableism. Also, for anyone who complained about the pronunciation, just keep in mind that they purposefully chose a Northerner in the UK to pronounce things in a way that was intended.
