Audiobook review disclaimer:
I process sound less clearly than text (trauma brain things), so my audiobook reviews tend to be shorter and more surface-level than my usual ones. I don’t take notes while listening, and I often come away with impressions rather than detailed analysis. Still, I’m committed to reviewing every single book I read, even when the format changes how I engage. This is my way of honoring the listening experience—with softness, presence, and care. Thanks for reading!
Review:
I went into this hoping for more plot heavy sci-fi and what I got was much more lyrical and philosophical exploration of humanity. Not a bad thing, but not really what I was looking for on audio. Not sure I retained anything that happened!
