bebocarrick 's review for:
The Spiral of Life
by Francesca McMahon
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this audiobook for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this YA romp through Celtic mythology. Eilean was a very compelling character to me. I grew quite attached to her throughout this story, and I loved her interactions with the other characters.
The story was a little slow to start, but once the setting shifted to the Celtic other world, I found myself more invested. I am intrigued to see what happens in the other books in the series, since I feel like this one only scratched the surface of Celtic mythology and all the different gods/goddesses involved. The narration of this audiobook was also spectacular. It was fun to have other sound effects and singing on occasion!
My one complaint, and the reason this is a four star review and not a five star one is the cringey chapter titles. They are almost all cheesy cliches or puns, and they honestly took me out of the story a little bit hearing each one. I would quite rather have no chapter titles at all than these ones that made me cringe so much.
