3.5 rounded up to 4 for GR. liked it, didn鈥檛 love it. was missing a bit in the execution for me that i can鈥檛 quite put my finger on.
this magical real3.5 rounded up to 4 for GR. liked it, didn鈥檛 love it. was missing a bit in the execution for me that i can鈥檛 quite put my finger on.
this magical realism book was getting a lot of buzz and being compared to THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE, so naturally i was interested. while i can see some Addie LaRue references, it doesn鈥檛 even scratch the surface of that magical book. but if you liked Addie LaRue and you also like traveling and learning about the world, this book might be worth checking out!
i listened to the audiobook and highly recommend that version! it鈥檚 narrated by one of my favorites (the same narrator who does Kate Quinn鈥檚 books) and she really brought the story to life well.
this premise is so interesting and i applaud the author for his creativity. insane that this is a debut! i鈥檇 deff check out his future work.
there were so many strong themes here - humanity, discovery, strength, survival. what would you do if you couldn鈥檛 stay in the same place for more than 2-3 days? would it be hell or cool? it really makes you wonder. the author wrote a FMC well, especially a little girl. she was also very funny at times!
i think my main issue was that the travel started too quickly. i wanted a little bit more about the magic puzzle ball and the sickness and how it all got started before we immediately dive into 9 year-old Aubry鈥檚 travels and life with loneliness.
because the majority of the book is around Aubry and her travels around the world by herself due to her condition, the pacing and the lack of other POVs from other characters were other bummers for me. some of my fave chapters were when she was with other characters (the Prince, the girl studying her, the guy on the train). i also am still not sure how i feel about the ending even though i鈥檝e been finished with it for a few days! i don鈥檛 know how i saw it ending, so i鈥檓 not sure how to feel. ...more

i reco the audiobook for this one. i鈥檝e seen quite a handful of friends DNF this book and i can see why (see above re: where is this going). if i read the physical copy, i may have DNF. loved the audiobook version and it deff helped me stay invested鈥攑lus British narrators are always a fun time!
