4 stars — That was a surprisingly emotional read for me. Like, seriously, I cried more than was probably warranted. I split time between reading and listening, but I really enjoyed Ms. Spencer’s narration. She had a great balance of emotion and snark that was needed with Holly. Solid pacing and voices as well. This […]
3.5 stars — Well huh. So, I still really enjoyed myself and was sucked into finishing this one, and still had a great time speculating about theories with my hubby while we listened. But the thing is…we got to the end, and I was a bit let down. There were quite a few gaps that […]
4.5 stars — Wow! I’m just getting more and more sucked into the world, and it kept me engrossed the whole time. Yet again, Brett and I had so many wild theories, some early, some late, some I wavered on when Brett stood strong. I loved picking out little clues here and there, and then […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]
4 stars — My hubby and I decided to listen to this one on a long road trip, and man did we have so much fun guessing along the way… taking turns pressing pause to point things out and posit theories. We actually figured out quite a few! Some earlier, some closer to reveal. Not […]
4 stars — This is definitely outside my normal genre to read, but I kind of loved how it allowed me to learn of some little known (in the West) history through a fictional perspective. I’m just not as interested in non-fiction, so I loved having this opportunity to expand my horizons while still giving […]
5 stars — Since I’d read the box set of the first 3 books and they weren’t updated with the new epilogues, this was the first time I was able to read them. I kind of loved getting a Ringo-related summary and then getting to see the epilogues in a row like that, it really […]
4.5 stars — My regret? That I didn’t read this earlier and faster so that I could have met Ms. Eddings in person this past weekend. Ah well. Why is it that sometimes the hardest reviews to write are the really good ones? The biggest thing I can say about this book is that I […]
4 stars — Here’s the thing: Waylon’s a pretty realistic teenager. In that he’s pretty wrapped up in his own head and his own life and dude is it hard to watch him not think about the other sides of things on so many situations. It’s frustrating. But it also makes his growth that much […]
4 stars — I was immediately drawn into this book just like in book 2, but I will admit the latter part of the story surprised me and I wasn’t quite as excited about the turns it took. Not that they were bad or unrealistic, I just didn’t personally enjoy them as much. Perry still […]
