Wow!!

Revisado: 08-30-24

I wasn't expecting to feel nearly as strongly about these characters as I do. Yeeran is intense and lovely and Rayan (spelling?) is full of green flags and Lettle is aggravating and frustrating and I'm not even finished with the book but holy crap I'm invested. There is such a diverse cast of characters of different genders and sexualities - it's not something I've experienced before and as a queer person it makes me so so so happy to read about people like me. I've really enjoyed this so far and I'm pumped to see the end!

SO GOOD OMG

Revisado: 07-17-24

I absolutely loved this and I'm looking forward to aggressively rereading it while I wait for book 2!! The story was absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed seeing the characters grow, I can't wait to see how Liberty and Anequs and Theod get on together. The Lore of the world is beautifully sculpted and immediately drew me in completely. The only gripe I might have isn't even about the book - I had to speed the reader up because they talk slowly. Anyway, I can't recommend this book highly enough!!

The narrator... oof

Revisado: 01-18-24

I had to listen to the book on 1.5x speed and I kept getting confused about why I was supposed to care about the main character? She's irritating and I wish the POV was from the healer or Cassian as opposed to the actual main character.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 07-22-23

I love this book and I adore Terry Pratchett and Steven Briggs, but there's random super disruptive music in the middle of chapters sometimes. It's pretty frustrating, but as long as you have your volume control handy and you're able to skip forward 30 seconds when the awkward music comes on so you can muddle through, it's another excellent installment in the Discworld universe.

Fun listen!

Revisado: 08-08-22

I love listening to good books while I'm at work and this title was no exception! I had it recommended by a friend and while A Court of Honey and Ash is a lot more heteronormative than what I usually read, I was still super emotionally invested throughout and genuinely enjoyed the characters and the story.

A solid read!

Revisado: 05-26-21

I should first say that I did enjoy this book. It was a solid read with interesting characters and an interesting magic system, though I would like to know more about it. Elizabeth Knowelden - if you speed her up to 1.10 - is a pretty solid reader as well.
However: I don't understand why there are two readers, and I think Joel Froomkin didn't contribute nearly as much to the life of the story as Elizabeth Knowelden did. Most of the time he was reading, I was just preparing to cringe when he voiced a character.
I'm excited to listen to the next book though, I've got a whole stack of unanswered questions!

Gorgeous!

Revisado: 09-29-20

I loved every second of it. I laughed and cried and exclaimed aloud through the whole thing, if you're needing a book that ticks all the boxes please consider picking up Gideon the Ninth. I can't wait to read the next book!

speed up the narrator and it's a wonderful read

Revisado: 12-27-19

I can't speak highly enough of the story and the characters and the lovely worldbuilding. I loved the book from start to finish! I immediately downloaded the next two books in the series. I know hope is slim that they wouldn't be narrated by the same person, but I still hope. The narrator is okay if you speed them up, but between weird, gigantic gaps in the middle of sentences and between sentences is still blindingly apparent.

Wow.

If you can struggle through how slowly the reader goes (I sped her up to 1.25) this is a worthwhile read!

Great background noise

Revisado: 10-23-19

I sped the narrator up to 1.25 and it was great! Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor do horror really well and I really enjoyed the characters and all the phenomena that come with Night Vale. Sometimes they stray deeply off topic, but overall a pretty good read.
