I read an e-ARC in tandem with an advanced audiobook.
Firstly, 5 Stars for that amazing cover! It's what drew me to this arc.
Secondly, Fog & Fireflies felt very unique. I really enjoyed the overall plot, the fog and monsters, the lore, the crucial roll of children, and the fear that comes with growing up. I was sucked in quickly. For me, it read lower YA/upper Middle Grade.
The pacing was a bit off for me. It slowed about 2/3 of the way through, then picked up again for the final act.
The audiobook is narrated by the author T.H. Lehnen, which I highly recommend. Lehnen has a melancholy, yet calming voice; perfect for the foggy and dreary setting and circumstances throughout Fog & Fireflies.

Thanks to NetGalley and Aspen and Thorn Press for an eARC and the audiobook!
