Katastrophe

Funny and Endearing

Revisado: 04-24-25

I am Linus. I approached this quite objectively and couldn’t help but fall in love. A great read that was wonderfully delivered by the narrator.

Fun Characters and an Amazing Narrator

Revisado: 02-27-25

Wow. I was not expecting to love this as much as I did. I loved the fresh take and perspective on familiar tropes. The story was fun while the themes were deep. I enjoyed the well defined magic system and world building. There was friendship, romance, treachery and betrayal, strong character development, sacrifice, internal conflict - just wow. What’s not to like? Picking up the next book in the series immediately.

Strong themes in a whimsical world

Revisado: 02-11-25

Having read Jordan Ifueko’s Raybearer Duology, the stakes of this story felt much smaller which I suppose was the point. I feel as though the theme of “small but mighty” and “strength in numbers” would have resonated better on its own rather than as a part in the Raybearer world. Personally as a lover of the Raybearer it almost felt like the “giant” efforts were antagonized for being too larger than life. I liked the perspective of the commoners, but I felt their importance came at the expense of the Raybearers and anointed ones. It was disheartening knowing how hard they fought in the duology for the good of their realm just to see everyone close to them recoil at their efforts.
Overall, the world building was whimsical and interesting, I wanted more from the romance, but the theme of the book was strong and rooted in real world problems.

Beautifully Written

Revisado: 11-13-24

Beautifully written, but it left me wanting more from the story. I think the was hoping for more magic and dragons, but overall I enjoyed the ride. The narrator did an amazing job with a range of voices for each character.

Amazing Voice Acting and Great Story

Revisado: 10-07-24

What is not to like? Ana Huang did a great job of making the characters come to life and make realistic decisions. They did not act to serve the plot, rather they responded to the story’s events in ways that were true to their character. The romance was steamy and the story was hard to put down. Don’t even get me started on the performance! So so good.

This should be taught in school

Revisado: 10-04-24

The information provided in this book is eye opening and is a catalyst for the change that the African diaspora needs for true change and development.

Satisfying Slow Burn

Revisado: 09-24-24

Well written and well executed! Even being in first person the main character kept secrets from the readers which paid off in the end. I loved the narrator’s voice and range with characters. 5/5

One Perspective on Love

Revisado: 09-09-24

This book is of the author’s perspective on what love is and how to truly experience love. It was an interesting read but I would no means take what is in this book to be law. I do think I can apply what I have learned to my relationships, but I wouldn’t really consider much of the book as advice but more of a commentary on love (or the lack of love) in our modern capitalist society.
