Honestly, I was really disappointed with this one. It reads a little bit like a device for using all the metaphors the author liked. The book finally decided what the main plot was at the 80% or so mark? Imagine if “yer a wizard Harry” had happened after 3/4 of the book was about all the weird stuff happening around him. I also disliked the audio, so I’m sure that colored the experience. The book is split between a mother and daughter’s perspective (which I was expecting to like). But the narrator for the mom whispers and the narrator for the daughter does this loud “I have an annoying voice because I’m a kid” thing.
