Such a great story!

Revisado: 02-18-22

I loved this story! I didn't know what to expect at all when I borrowed this on Audible, but it was good old-fashioned storytelling that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and delivered a very satisfying ending.

The scope was grand, spanning time and space even to the realm of the gods. Definitely magical realism in the South American tradition at its finest. I loved learning about the Yoruba people, who came from West Africa, and their Orisha religion, which have a significant influence on life in multicultural Brazil and form the background to our story and main characters.

This is a story that needs to be heard rather than read, in the grand tradition of oral storytelling, so it's a perfect fit for Audible release and the narrator is great! He does all the accents and voices so well.

Lovely military romance

I loved Dex and Aria's story! The progression of their relationship was so believable and I enjoyed every page of it. Secondary characters like Pop and Libby were so great. Plot twists and turns like his ex and her schemes, and especially the music professor, really worked for me. The ending felt really rushed to me and I'd like to have seen more of their future, but their relationship felt secure and I was happy enough with where they were.

The narrator for the audiobook was... eh. I didn't like his voices, especially for women but also for some men. He was okay and I could listen to it without going crazy. But in the end I borrowed the book on Kindle Unlimited to just finish up, partly out of slight annoyance at the narration, but mainly because I really wanted to finish the story! ;)
