Set in 12th-century Jerusalem, Pilgrim follows the treacherous journey of a German knight and his companions as they return home after seven arduous years battling for God in the Holy Land. Within this sprawling tale lies a tapestry of medieval horror, intertwining history and folklore, encompassing both a metaphysical and literal odyssey.

This is one of only 2 books I’ve owned that I have been completely unable to force myself to finish. No matter how many times I come back to it, the stories are so painfully boring or filled with the most over-the-top “old time-y” wording that I just cannot keep listening.
The worst part is that the ones I don’t find boring could be good stories if the author didn’t use a thesaurus for each individual word of the story. Sometimes a simple sentence like “his reflection stared back at him” is enough, there’s no need to find the longest possible synonyms for every word in a story. I get that the author is inspired by lovecraft and other old Weird Fiction writers, but trying to artificially mimic their style by just using words that sound fancy doesn’t always (or even usually) work.
I found a ton of reviews online of people saying that they loved this collection, so take my complaints with a grain of salt. I’m not even trying to tear down or insult the author, I just don’t want anyone else with similar tastes to me to end up wasting their money on this.
TLDR: the stories tend to be boring, the author uses big words that barely fit, please listen to the sample before buying.

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

why did I sit through this?

please spare yourself the suffering and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. The characters are annoying, selfish, shallow, unbelievable a****es, the villains are boring and flat, the story makes absolutely no sense, and every other line just comes across as the author/characters whining.
I hate sh***ng on someone else's work, but this was next level in its ability to disappoint.

Kell is one of the last Travelers - magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes. As such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. There's White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. And once upon a time, there was Black London...but no one speaks of that now.
