Great narrator & really engrossing story!

Revisado: 10-24-22

I picked up this book without a lot of high hopes. I'm not a big YA fan & free books from Audible can be hit or miss. I was thrilled to love the book & continued on with the series. The characters have real depth & I love that the characters aren't the same old same old. Diversity for the win! +It's an LGBT #OwnVoices read. Pick up the series. You won't regret it. Shout out to the great narrator as well!

Guess I'm in the minority

Revisado: 09-08-21

I didn't like this. I gave up after an hour and a half of listening. It just seemed confusing, a little boring, and I'm also not a big fan of ensemble audiobooks (though this is one of the better ones in terms of cast and not having sound effects/music overshadow everything).

Looking at some of the negative reviews, I also don't think the book is going to get better, only worse. Who wants to listen to a story with rape in it? Ugh.

I love fantasy, but there are far too many wonderful books out there for me to waste my time on a book I'm not loving.

FAR better as an audiobook

Revisado: 08-26-21

This is FAR better as an audiobook which seems especially surprising for me to say since this is literally the first audiobook with a cast I've ever finished. I love audiobooks, but hate full cast productions. But the cast made this book better than it was. The style of the book also suits audio more because it's written as individual band member interviews. I think it would fall much flatter as a book because of this which is also funny for me to say since I generally prefer books over audiobooks. (I only listen to audiobooks for the times I can't read ebooks such as when I'm doing chores or exercising.) The casting choices were perfect as well.

So why the 3 stars? This is not my genre. I mainly read sci fi & fantasy. I also like lots of action, not lots of talking. But I had to read this book for a team book challenge. By the description, I should have hated the book. So 3 stars for this from me is fantastic.

I loved the ending.

I'm not the right audience for this book

Revisado: 08-08-21

I think this book would appeal to others, but the description is doing the novel a disservice pulling in people like me who are then disappointed by it. When you look at the negative reviews (especially on Goodreads), we're all saying the same thing.

Based on the description, I was expecting something light, funny, and full of action written for an adult audience. And was annoyed that this isn't what I got. Instead, I got insta-connections without character development, monologues, sci fi that seemed based more on wishes/unrealistic solutions than science, and YA. It's a shame because I feel like I wasted my time when this book wasn't written for someone like me.

Charming & Fun

Revisado: 07-29-21

This series is absolutely delightful! I don't usually like YA, but this was action-packed & engaging. The author clearly also knows cats well which added to the enjoyment of the story. Adored it as an audiobook cause the narrator used all sorts of fun accents which just added to the charm of this book. Giving an extra star just for that. Highly recommend & it's included with Audible Plus!

Decent 1950s Book; Great Narration

Revisado: 10-15-20

I didn't realize this was a novel from the 1950s. (If you look at the new modern cover, you'll see why.) My first clue as to the date was the sexism. Lol That's when I looked up when the book out. The sexism (and a minor bout of racism) can get cringey at times, but it fits with the times and is less blatant than many other authors from back then. And the story is great for a 1950s book. It got a little wordy at times and the ending was a bit trite, but overall, the ideas are fun and the story is surprising. Decent read and the narration is lovely. Bronson Pinchot is wonderful as always.

Epic Fantasy + Mystery = Awesome

Revisado: 09-29-20

What a lovely surprise! I wasn't expecting much, but this was an awesome adventure. It's like an epic fantasy and a mystery novel had a baby creating this fun book.

The narrator with his wonderfully gravely voice is just perfect for this too.

Just as freakin great as the 1st book!

Revisado: 09-25-20

Wish each book was full length, but they're still delightful in any case. The narrator is perfect for the book too.
