Sloppy Editing - Beautiful writing

The editing on this book definitely could’ve been better. There are so many mistakes that could’ve been avoided.

Slow beginning

Revisado: 08-26-24

First off, I love Lily Cho. Her books are great slices of life romances. I also love that she’s able to connect her stories slyly for the reader’s enjoyment, even though all of her books can be stand-alones.

The build up for this newest book was very slow. It felt slightly uncomfortable, and I almost put the book down. I kept reading though, because I know I love Lilly‘s work. I am very glad I kept reading because once the book was set up, it was a very enjoyable experience.
Part of me also wonders if I found the set up awkward because I had recently read Evelyn Hugo. Although the storylines are similar, the story itself is very different and I think I was trying to compare the two books.

The narration was fantastic, and I did not have any issues with the way it was edited. Both narrators read around the same speed.

Too many time jumps

Revisado: 07-05-24

It was messed up. I didn’t start liking it until Rose came onto the scene. The smut is too slow, and there wasn’t enough tension for how slow it was. Also, there are too many time breaks, and it felt choppy.

Beautiful

Revisado: 05-05-24

I was already a big fan of this author and the production behind this audiobook series. The story holds up to the last 2 1/2 books that have been produced for the series. The interweaving of Susie Jackson’s narration and the live orchestra is truly stunning.
Jessica Khoury does a fantastic job with making you feel the emotions her main characters are feeling. I laughed, I cried.
Chapter 36 is a masterpiece and I cannot wait to see the fan art that comes out of it!

If you’re looking to read a book with your kids, this is the perfect book. I would suggest eight years old and older purely because of the magic system and some of the emotional issues, the characters deal with.
Anyone with even a slight appreciation of classical music should read this book series!!

Bravo Jessica Khoury. Bravo.

My only con is I feel like the cover art is not as strong as the other books in the series. The artist could have pushed themselves a little bit more.

Storytelling with a sprinkle of truth

Revisado: 03-15-24

I absolutely loved the fantastic world of the Marvellers. The author did a great job of sprinkling in bits of truth about African-American history, while not making the real history stand out from the fantastic story.

SA!

Revisado: 11-07-23

Strong ptsd from SA warning. Very emotionally heavy. The fae aspect is fun to fritter out, but there not enough lightness in the story to not have you feeling hallow once it’s over.

*Could* be useful if you’ve experienced SA and need a story to latch onto about overcoming your fear and frustration.
