Historia
You are born to a king, but marry a tyrant. You stand helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore and comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. You play the part, fooling enemies who deny you justice. Slowly, you plot.

One of the best books I've read!
Revisado: 06-14-24
What an absolutely stellar book. From writing to narration, I loved every bit. It's full of beautiful tasteful descriptions, of complex human nature explorations. I loved the way Clytemnestra was portrayed and her change from a young woman to a strong, stoic and life-beaten queen. This book is cruel and yet so beautiful. The little concerns I had were absolutely swept away by everything else. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy books by Madeline Miller.

Historia
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Beautiful narration for a beautiful story
Revisado: 02-15-24
This was such an enjoyable read. A perfect voice for Circe. The book itself, I really liked it, though the ending felt a bit like it couldn't quite land. Still, I really loved the portrayal of gods. Not evil, not good, just... Are.

Historia
On a dark, wintry day, Eliza Grey receives a mysterious letter from her ailing Nana Mora begging her to come for a visit. This is an easy "Yes". Eliza has always preferred Nana Mora's beach cottage on St. Simons Island to the apartment she and her mom call home in the city. The island is a magical place where stories and legends grow as thick as the Spanish moss dangling in the trees. Now, Nana Mora's eyesight is fading, and there's something she wants to show Eliza before it’s totally gone: a mythical place locals refer to as Sirens Harbor.

Pleasant but with downsides
Revisado: 02-24-23
A sweet mermaid story, but less so about mermaids and more about families. The narration was both making the story better and worse at the same time. The older narrator was definitely more pleasant, so was the younger one, but them reading certain words differently was very jarring.
The author also uses a lot of repetitions that at some point become very annoying.
Overall, it's a good read and a good reminder that we should keep a fairytale in our heart no matter the age.

This book will take you places and you WILL cry. I'm absolutely stunted by the masterful, magnificent storytelling and descriptions. The narrator deserves so many awards for the heartbreaking narration. Just wow.

The story keeps unraveling and it WILL keep you on your toes. Narration continues being excellent and the story starts taking much darker turns. Can't wait to get to the next book!

Historia
Two o'clock was missing. In an alternate Victorian world controlled by clock towers, a damaged clock can fracture time - and a destroyed one can stop it completely. It's a truth that 17-year-old clock mechanic Danny Hart knows all too well; his father has been trapped in a Stopped town east of London for three years. Though Danny is a prodigy who can repair not only clockwork but the very fabric of time, his fixation with staging a rescue is quickly becoming a concern to his superiors.

A Hidden Diamond
Revisado: 01-30-23
This book absolutely blew me away. Stellar worldbuilding, a sweet romantic story, complex relationships and lore that you will want to bite on, literally.
I highly recommend this book for its beautiful aesthetic also and the concept of time. The narrator did a spectacular job with his soft voice, clearly defining between characters.

Fantastic reader and an interesting story
Revisado: 01-16-23
M. E. Braddon is incredible at putting out the mystery and unraveling it in reverse, so to say. It's gripping and it's fun to follow the characters' reactions as they unfold the mystery. Narration was very pleasant and Olivia Poulet managed to give everyone a very distinct accent and manner. A very enjoyable book!

The hype is justified
Revisado: 12-20-22
This book was such a revelation. I've heard about it many times and now that I've read it, I can say 100% its fame is well deserved.
The writing is fantastic, the author doesn't hesitate to pull punches and make the story turn to less expected ways. Characters are all unique and different and the voice actors do them great justice.

Historia
The unapologetic intensity with which Emily Brontë wrote this story ensures that it will forever be considered one of the greatest works of English literature. A passionate tale of a chaotic and often violent love, Wuthering Heights transcends your average romance and, with its Gothic undertones, takes the listener on a journey through one man's lustful hunt for revenge.

Brought up in the household of a powerful Baron, Candide is an open-minded young man whose tutor, Pangloss, has instilled in him the belief that 'all is for the best'. But when his love for the baron's rosy-cheeked daughter is discovered, Candide is cast out to make his own way in the world. And so he and his various companions begin a breathless tour of Europe, South America and Asia, as an outrageous series of disasters befall them - earthquakes, syphilis, a brush with the Inquisition, murder - sorely testing the young hero's optimism.

Fantastic narration
Revisado: 09-13-22
After finally getting my hands on this audiobook, I can happily say it was worth the wait! Ben Lloyd Hughes did an amazing job with the narration. Distinct voices and accents, the perfectly jolly pace for a character like Candide. (Are you a fan of Ben's work as Constantin in Greedfall? You are in for a treat!!)
And as a book itself, of course, highly enjoyable as a classic! Insightful!
