I'm not entirely sure what to make of this book. It certainly has intriguing and scary elements, but overall, it feels quite confusing and chaotically written. It's like there's not enough substance to support the structure. The format of a long, detailed letter didn't quite work for me. The basic premise is a modern twist on "The Turn of the Screw," but it wasn't quite successful. All in all, it's decent enough to kill a few hours, but falls short of expectations.

Finally, this is the kind of book I've been waiting for while reading the previous three installments. It finally held my attention instead of just being background noise. I loved the feel-good ending; there were enough battles to keep it exciting, though I missed the final foursome. Perhaps there were a bit too many gods and characters all at once - it was harder to keep track of them, but I appreciated how Aria concluded her old life with a reunion with her brother and the people who helped in the final battle. I adore the narrators.

Loved it!! Amazing and fun little cozy mysteries, interesting stories, great audio quality and narrators. I liked that there were three different cases with overarching love story and repeating characters, which are very likeable. I would recommend this to all cozy mysteries lovers. Can't wait to hear some new episodes!!

"On Writing" is not just a manual; it's a testament to the craft and the determination required to pursue it. Stephen King masterfully intertwines the narrative of his own life with practical advice on how to write better. This unique blend of autobiography and writing guidance offers a refreshing departure from mere factual writing tips. King's journey as a writer, coupled with concrete strategies, proves exceptionally valuable. His inclusion of the story of his accident is particularly interesting, a nice reminder to persevere in artistic endeavors despite adversity. Even though I initially craved more specific writing instructions or examples of good and bad writing, I concluded that the book provided everything necessary to embark on my own writing journey and learn the rest through experience. Thank you for the permission slip, Mr. King.

Wtf did I just listen to? Thank god it was only hour and a half. Don't know which one is the crazy one (both?) and the story has no point. And goooood all the crying of the children.

I stumbled upon this audiobook completely by accident, but I'm so glad I decided to listen to it. I love how Clare creatively approached the serious topic of self-sabotage with childlike playfulness. The lessons are digestible, simple, and enjoyable; complex principles of how our brain functions are simplified so that everyone can truly understand and apply them. BOOM!

Couldn't get past the introduction - the narrator was horrible. She enunciates last words in sentences so weirdly, I couldn't hear anything else but that. Reading in a male voice was unlistenable. She was so raspy in combination with strange enuanciation that I wanted to scream.

I've read the whole series and had just this one left. And it waited for me and waited. For maybe 6 months. Since I'm finisher, I've tried to read it so I can have the complete series. But I just couldn't. I didn't care at all about those characters. I rolled my eyes a lot and decided life is to short to read books that annoy me.

OK, so I opened the book this morning, to read a little while drinking tea. Didn't stop until the end, it just kept me captivated! True, there's a lot of undeveloped characters (tbh the book would be exactly the same without the twins) and ridiculous scenes, but it was interesting ride nonetheless. My teenage self had A BLAST. And what is UP with the ending?! I have to gather all my willpower not to start the second one right now.

This book continues to be a huge guilty pleasure for my inner teenager. Some parts of the plot were somewhat illogical, but not enough to diminish my enjoyment. Reed's POV felt a bit unnecessary to me, and the underlying message that the rich are bad and the poor are good and noble is quite tiresome. The twins are still useless to the story, and I'm curious if we'll ever learn more about them. I love the cliffhanger ending.
