4.5 stars — You know what? This fucking delighted me. I don’t even know why, but I just was completely enamoured with Maelyn’s bizarre journey, and I ended it with so much satisfaction. I think part of that delight was wholeheartedly the narration by Patti Murin. Which is funny, b/c she wasn’t perfect. But there […]
4.5 stars — Dudes!! This one surprised me in the BEST ways! I was sucked in from the beginning, and it was just so different and fun for a retelling! As usual I forgot to finish this review, so it’ll be a bit choppy… First things first, the narrator was fantastic! Ms. Fortgang’s voices were […]
3.5 stars — I’m not a huge Twilight fan, though I enjoyed the stories and the movies (to some degree). They’re very much a guilty pleasure, and for all their faults I am entertained by the series. I will admit though, that when I got the audiobook from the library and saw that it was […]
4.5 stars — Wow, it’s so hard to decide, but I think this was my favourite of the 3 so far! Still absolutely adored Mary Jane Wells as the narrator. She’s so consistent with her voices, with distinguishing between thoughts and dialogue, and she NAILS both the humour and the emotion of our characters. Penny was […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
4 stars — This book is totally outside of what I normally read, so I think I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I definitely enjoyed Graham Halstead as the voice of Jamie — his narration was solid, and I’ve enjoyed him in the past. His pacing was great, his voices were solid, […]
3.5 stars — I both listened and read this book. This was another one of those books that while I couldn’t find fault with the narrator (and in fact I’ve enjoyed Ms. Guest in other audiobooks), I just had a harder time getting sucked in when listening. But when I would switch to reading, it […]
3.5 stars — I started this one by listening to the audiobook, but it really did not capture my attention in that format. It wasn’t that the narrator was bad, I thought she was quite good. But I think there was something about the narrative that just didn’t work for my distracted mind. So I switched […]
4 stars — I’ve had ups and downs with retellings, but this one was totally solid! Mr. Sanderlin was a solid narrator. He wasn’t my favourite, but it’s probably just a personal taste thing, not because of his talent. In general his different voices were fairly easy to tell apart, I mostly only had a […]
4.5 stars — I mean…I knew it was going to be bad (the inevitable cliffhanger)…but wow. Just. Why did I read this right now? Why didn’t I wait?? *wailing noises* OK, it’s not *that* bad. I have some theories. But still. WRITE FASTER!!!!! So, uh, yeah. I really enjoyed it. I read the first book, […]
