This is the first audiobook I’ve listened to in who knows how long at 1x speed. Oyeyemi has no time for handholding with her magic & fantasy worlds, so I wanted to make sure I was catching everything. Even when I didn’t, I think it’s one of those books where you can just enjoy the vibes, you know? It’s whimsical but it has an edge. The writing is gorgeous, there’s humour running throughout and I like the way it has a fairytale feel while being thoroughly rooted in today’s world. There were slightly too many characters to keep proper track of via audio, especially by the end when all the Kerchevals came along. If you’re an Erin Morgenstern fan then I definitely think you’ll get on well with this one!
