5.0

Gorgeously written and narrated, and reminiscent of the glorious Spirited Away, what's not to like? It's immersive and draws on mythology I was unfamiliar with, while also creating a world of her own. Mina is brave in the face of so many obstacles - what with finding herself in a strange underworld, battling demons, and trying to reclaim her soul. It's a LOT. I do feel like I was confused at times on audio, but that's par for the course when I listen to fantasy. But I found the plot to be really enjoyable and immersive, perfect for a series of long walks.
