I usually truly enjoy Molly Harper’s stories, but the main character in this one started off so unlikeably self-righteous and unnecessarily antagonistic that I felt too bad for the male lead (knowing he’d be shoved into a storyline that would somehow leave him stuck and inexplicably, bafflingly, ‘in love’ with an absolute jerk) to continue, and I put it down a few chapters in. Because I like the author, the works-building, and the mystery subplot, I eventually picked it back up to get to the end, and there were marginal improvements, but it remained irrationally biased towards the female lead, always treating her as the wounded party even when she was definitely more in the wrong than the male lead, and I was too busy wincing in concern to root for them as a couple.

This would have been a MUCH better book if it had just been a mystery and nixed the forced, unpleasant romance shoehorned in. A genuinely rare miss from a usually enjoyable storyteller.

An easy listen, slice of life story. Not a lot of conflict, but that’s honestly a nice change of pace in my opinion. It’s often really jarring to have a new narrator in a series, but Ray is fairly consistent which can’t have been easy! The switch wasn’t as disruptive as I feared. An easy, enjoyable listen. Looking forward to the next installment!

Jon does a wonderful job of bringing the characters and conversations to life. His voices for the wide variety of folks the appear in the story are excellent - Mia in particular totally made me smile.

It’s a cozy, easy-paced story (some may say slow) more about making connections and relationships and slowly expanding a world than anything, featuring the kind of protagonist who holes up in a forest to study slimes for three years, so if you’re looking for an action-paced OP level grind in another world—this story isn’t that except in the margins. Personally, I enjoy the more relaxed story that still plays with the tropes that make this genre so fun, and definitely recommend it.

One of my favorites by Frances Hardinge, a twisty, tricky romp that doubles back delightfully in places and is infused with entertaining worldbuilding. Kevin does a really enjoyable job with the voices.
