The Actual Star takes listeners on a journey over thousands of years and six continents—collapsing three separate timelines into one cave in the Belizean jungle. An epic saga of three reincarnated souls, this novel demonstrates the entanglements of tradition and progress, sister and stranger, love and hate. The book jumps forward and backward in time among a pair of twins who ruled a Maya kingdom, a young American on a trip of self-discovery, and two dangerous charismatics in a conflict that will determine the fate of the few humans left on Earth after massive climate change.

Fantastic
Revisado: 09-28-21
The story is so strange and yet fairly easy to follow. I read a review before I preordered this that described it as where Cloud Atlas and Parable of the Sower meet. I can definitely see those elements but it’s not doing this book justice. I really enjoyed the world of the uninhibited teen girl, we are given so much room to get to know her and appreciate her. I also enjoyed the detail given in going through the “routine” of the cave tours in Belize. I would have loved more detail about how the future timeline operates but maybe it was just enough information. In conclusion, highly recommended!

Helen Lambert has lived several lives-a young piano virtuoso in 1890s Paris, an actress in 1930s Hollywood, a rock star in 1970s Los Angeles - only she doesn't know it. Until she meets a strange man who claims he's watched over her for centuries, bound to her from the beginning. At first, Helen doesn't believe him. Her life is as normal as any other modern career woman's. Then she begins having vivid dreams about ill-fated love and lives cut short. Caught in a curse, Helen will be forced to relive the same tragic events that ruined her previous lives.

Not bad, had potential
Revisado: 02-05-21
I was disappointed in the main character, but it had an interesting basis. I like how the story slowly unfolds at first, but then halfway through it felt like it was dragging on with no pay off. References to and descriptions of art were very well done. The medium spell breaker person was cliche and a little tacky (hello, Ghost). The book was ok

Fairy tales with dark twists
Revisado: 11-01-20
The imagery is great, performance was impressive. The fairy tales are going to feel familiar but Bardugo makes them her own. Enjoyable listen for cooking over my last two days. About to buy more from Bardugo.

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.

So so good
Revisado: 07-17-19
This book is so good, both the writing and the narration, that I’ve returned to it twice more since I first finished it.
The way this world is described is so poetic, it’s actually soothing. Circe is so complex and her thoughts and are written beautifully and also feel familiar. This book has become so calming to me, I can’t get enough. I also enjoyed Achilles Song but this was far beyond my favorite and I’ll read whatever else Madeline Miller writes.
