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 love these. Seanan McGuire is the only writer who could get me this invested in teenage narrators. The worlds she builds? Immaculate. These are super quick so some of the details are a tad forgettable, but I love the characters AND the worldbuilding. Yes to the fat rep! Yes to the anti-fatphobia! Seanan does it again!
