Changing the Script

Revisado: 01-23-25

This is a tough one for me to review because I can’t quite put my finger on what was missing. To be fair, my rating is only a 4 star in terms of Lee Winter’s books, purely because she has set the bar so high. I love all of her books that I’ve read and even read some of them again here and there, but this one just missed the mark for me. There was just something missing for me. She did her usual phenomenal job of piecing together all of the secondary characters and making you love them as well. And the narrator was off the charts AMAZING! It just wasn’t a favorite of mine, I’m not sure I felt the slow connection being built between the 2 MC’s, that you typically see from a Lee Winter book. I didn’t feel as invested in their outcome as I typically do. Still worth a read for sure though.

Underwhelming

Revisado: 01-10-25

Honestly confused about all the positive reviews. This was the most mediocre book I’ve purchased in a while. It’s not bad, it’s just super underwhelming. The 2 MC’s never actually connect on anything on a deeper level. It always just seems to be physical attraction. The narrator who voiced Hadrea did a good job, but the narrator for Aurora wasn’t great. I couldn’t tell if it was just really poor microphone quality or she was just always kind of talking with too much spit in her mouth, but it was a little off-putting.

Missed the mark

Revisado: 12-09-24

This book had the potential to be good, possibly even very good and honestly, I can’t tell if it was the writing, the narration, or the two combined, but it just felt silly and I kept catching myself looking to see how much longer until the book was over because I was eager for it to end. The narration in particular was very annoying, sadly. She has a really nice voice, but she used really stupid inflection that either made them sound haughty and spoiled or annoying and childish. I wish I had read it as a regular book to see if the story was more enjoyable that way.

Least fave so far

Revisado: 04-14-24

The story was good if you just want something that follows a modern fairytale theme but I would have to say it’s my least favorite by this author so far.
I found it hard to become engaged in for the first several chapters. And then rather had to follow at times, where it felt like big milestones passed quickly and you were missing something that led up to that. It was good, just not my fave. As far as narration goes, although I do feel like Abby Craden as a narrator has been feeling burnt into the ground, by how she narrates sooooo many stories; I will say this was some of my favorite work by here so far! She really did a great job of painting an image of so many personalities/backgro

So sooo good!

Revisado: 07-08-23

This is far from my typical genre I’d choose so I was a little skeptical, but I am so glad I took the leap and listened to this!!
It’s mad page turner in audible form. I found myself trying to stay awake longer to listen to it, and often checking to see how much was remaining out of fear when the story would end. I also noticed on several occasions all the hopes I had for the finale or even hopeful sequels. I loved every bit of this book - beginning to end!

Loved it! Great read with unexpected plot twists. Narration was also brilliant. I think I may have enjoyed it even more than her first book. Read it!

Sooooo glad the next chapter has finally been told!

Revisado: 01-12-20

Amazing story, loved getting the insights of 3 main character who didn’t yet have their own voices in the first book. It divides the chapters between both of June’s daughter -Agnes (Hannah) and her life maturing in Gilead, and baby Nicole (or Holly) growing up in Canada. Then there is the story of Aunt Lydia, read perfectly by Ann Dowd - which finally allows us to grasp her transformation and personal experiences through the years from pre-Gilead to the downfall and her roll in it.
I was so enthralled by this story and it even made me cry at the end. What are you waiting for? READ IT!
