A Different Kind of Magic but Confusing

A War Between Nations
Fantasy
Steampunk-ish
Girl Power

With Audio Performed by Chloe Cannon

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

This will appeal to many out there who are tired of the special snowflakes in fantasy novels but still crave strong female characters and the ones who don't care for any romance or info-dumping.  This is a character-driven steampunk fantasy that centers on female relationships and the trials of war with an interesting but confusing magic system.

But beware...because sadly, for me, I just didn't get this world that the Author created.  I had no clue what was going on half the time and the rest, I just didn't care.  This nation that they are going to war for didn't feel like a nation worth fighting for...I mean if you're considered a traitor after surviving a day and a half in enemy territory...then seriously, WTF?  This had the potential to be so much more than it was because what I did glean of this world felt super-cool.  But overall, it just felt super-unrealized. 

The Narration was decently done, but of course, I would've liked a second narrator for each of the two female narrators.  She did give a little distinction between Linné and Revna's voices, though.

With Audio Performed by Ann Marie Gideon 

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

My first Brenda Novak Book and I found myself enmeshed in this story, the plot is almost perfect with only minor imperfections, most of them involving her reasons for leaving the small town after graduation, I just didn't buy that she left everything behind without a backward glance, especially Micah...I mean...she supposedly loved him.  But, ignoring that, I found this quite compelling.

____________________________

Overall this is an entertaining read with likable main characters and the evil ones...they are truly vile.  Unfortunately, once I started writing this and I really started to scrutinize the different plot points, the story didn't always hold up.  Which left me downgrading my rating from 4.5 to 4.3.  The narrator was fairly top-notch...still feel that a male narrator for Micah's POV would have been even better.

Grief

With Audio Performed by Julia Whelan

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

Most of the reviews say this is just like Hotel California...the song...so I read the lyrics...and...yeah, I totally see that.  It's almost as if the Author just made up a story, albeit a YA one, to go along with those lyrics.  I think if you go into this knowing it's more or less a story to go with that song...you might not be so disappointed.  Whether or not that was the Author's intention is unknown to me or irrelevant at any least.

For the most part, it reads like a super quick little tale of a haunted hotel with grief-stricken teens and a few splashes of overly dramatic romance, and for me, it fell somewhere in the middle of terrific and terrible.

With Audio Performed by Katherine Littrell

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

The narration by Katherine Littrell was fantastic...she did a perfect southern debutante accent.  She's also mastered the art of inflecting her voice with a different cadence for inner dialogue.  This is something of which many narrators need to improve on.  I might not have liked this as much as I did if it not for the narration, I've could have gotten bored with some of the slower sections of the story...I'll never know for sure?

While the mysteries within are not as complex or as sinister as JLB's Naturals Series, I still found them to be adequate.  For the gentrified Southern Setting the mysteries fit quite perfectly.  I found the characters refreshing, and I loved that they weren't all super-catty, to the point of being nasty...I think I thought they would be.  Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this story.  One thing I didn't know...this has a second book.

Collectively in eBook format these three novella's are available as a set with this cover:

I listened to each one separately, but consecutively on Audio, which was performed by one of my favorite narrators, January LaVoy.  I listened to this mainly so I would be up to speed for Ink & Bone by Lisa Unger.  These short novellas are sort of a prequel to that story.  These were each very short, quick listens and while I didn't find them overly special...I'm certainly not upset with spending my day with them.

Possible Linked Murders

With Audio Performed by Sophie Amoss & Kirby Heyborne

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

The title is a totally like the Pretty Little Liars theme song and the plot did kind of remind me of the PLL series, overall (based on the random episodes I've seen here and there)...so maybe that's why she called it what she did. Otherwise, the title doesn't go with the story at all.  Overall, the story is okay, the characters are okay and the mystery was somewhat twisty but somewhat predictable, with a dollop of eww thrown in.  It wasn't terrible and it even entertained me for a bit.

The narration was passably okay, despite having Kirby Heyborne, he has one of those voices that I just can't take listening to for that long. Sophie Amoss was fairly good, though.

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

I should have loved this, and I'm so disappointed that I didn't.  I love the Illuminae Series by these two.  Seriously, all the love.   Was it the "normal" format that I couldn't get into...I don't think so.  After all, I have loved many a deep-space adventure story.  All I can come up with is the characters really didn't wow me, they left me feeling nothing or nearly nothing, anyway.   The only one I kinda liked is Scarlet...and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who would pick her as their favorite, but she felt the most real to me.  Since the bulk of the story, despite the heist and other action scenes, is all about this group of characters, I found the story ultimately lacking.  Luckily, the ending started to pique my interest, I thought, finally, maybe this has got something I can get behind.  Fingers crossed that book two has what I'm looking for.

So, overall, the story has potential, the characters have something like potential and I will more than likely continue the series...because it is, after all, Jay and Amie...plus, everyone else so far seems to love this book.

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

With over 80,000 readers and an overall rating of 4.01 on Goodreads, you know that there are a few people who loved this, sadly, I'm not one of them...but I did like it, and I will more than likely keep listening to the series.  I might have liked it more if I had read it a few years ago...but reading it at this point...I feel like the writing and the overall story was there but I wasn't.

๏~ I found the world to be somewhat indiscriminent...it felt like a fantasy (with fantastical names and such) but also felt like a future dystopian-like society too.  Which does it want to be?  There is no magic system...but this I actually liked because I've been feeling like it's (magic) really played out lately.  The ending came out of nowhere to me...and I'm still a little confused about how it came about.

๏~ With the exception of Kestral and Arin, there is very little character development, but even they feel kind of wishy-washy to me.  It's as if the side characters were just inconsequential. 

๏~ The romance left me wanting more.  Do they like each other or not, is it enough that they do...this is what will keep me listening to series, ultimately.  I do love a good angsty romance, and I feel like the potential is there for that.  You know, with their people at war with each other and all.

Or...

My disappointment in this could stem from the fact that I listened to this right after listening to Daisy Jones & the Six (and I freaking loved that) and I couldn't really get into the right frame of mind for it...like a book hangover kind of feeling.  I don't know???

The Audio was okay but could have been better.  I can't seem to stress this enough...if you have pov's from both a female and a male character, then you should always have both a female and male narrators.

I knew, going into this, that I would love it...I was not prepared for how much I would love this.  It's not just the full-cast narration...which I love, it's the story itself. it was really so much more than I thought it was going to be.  It is my favorite book of the year.

In the beginning, it had an Almost Famous vibe and I love that movie.  Then it just transitioned into this utterly fascinating story on the rise and fall of a rock band with characters that not only shined but felt like they really existed.  I loved the format but loved it even more so by the end of the book.  But damn, did it make me cry...and it was an ugly cry.

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

I seem to be on a YA Mystery kick lately and this is the second in a row that I really liked, although I'm sure there are some issues that some could be nit-picky about.  This is being compared with Pretty Little Liars by a lot of readers, and while I've never watched an entire episode (my daughter watches it relentlessly...5 or 6 times for the entire series, I think she's up to, now) of PLL, it does fit that comparison well, at least from what I've been dragged into watching.  The drama is your typical teenage drama albeit with a dark edge to it and it's not overdone or exceptionally whiney like I find a lot of other YA mysteries.   The overall mystery of Bailey's disappearance is compellingly readable/listenable.

I finished this fairly quickly because I had to know who did it.  My thoughts after that totally twisted ending...wow, this Author isn't afraid to go there...

The Audio performance was top-notch.  Little Monsters is told from two POVs, both Kacey and eventually some flashback snippets from Bailey.  The Audio performance was seriously top-notch, with two different narrators (Yay!) for each person.

I don't remember if I read the book before or after the movie came out...but I enjoyed both quite a bit.  This story has always stuck with me, along with the "stay gold" quote.  It's a classic story for a reason, from the foreshadowing to the quotable quotes.  With some of my all-time favorite characters to this day...Johnny, Ponyboy, Dary, Soda Pop, Two-Bit, and even Dallas...awe man, how could you not love this book, even with its tendencies to be somewhat corny.  The excellent narrator of this captured the voices of the actors who played each of these characters perfectly...especially Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, and Ralph Macchio.   He made it feel like the actors themselves narrated this.

With Narration Performed by Katherine Littrell

๏ ๏ ๏  My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏ 

The Nowhere Child is a missing child mystery where you know from the beginning what becomes of her...I think I was drawn to this story because of this premise...sometimes going through an entire book thinking that the child's dead body will be found rather than being found alive, can set off a queasy feeling, that never really goes away.  Since you know she ended up being raised in Australia, the question is how did she end up there when she was born in America.

What ensues is a twisty, mysterious journey to find out who kidnapped Sammy Went.  With unforeseen twists and amid a backdrop of a small town in Kentucky with a religious cult or Fundamentalists as they choose to be called at the forefront of the mystery.  Told in alternating pov's between the past (many characters pov's) and the present (Kim/Sammy), the mystery unfolds.

My one, slightly significant issue with the story overall is with the choice to have only one narrator.  Katherine Littrell does an adequate performance for the part of Kim...but as for the rest of the characters her Aussie accent tended to come through and lessened my enjoyment of the Audio overall.
