My next listen… I‘ve started going on the treadmill everyday so I‘ve been listening a bit more. Intrigued by this one…

I enjoyed this ambitious, carefully constructed, clever work of Historical Fantasy and learned a lot about oppressive colonial capitalism; and even more about language. I loved all the mini word translation lessons. Occasionally heavy-handed? Maybe. Too long? For me, yes. I sped it up to 2x for the second half and the main character‘s inner monologue of doubt and confusion grew tiresome. I did appreciate the ending and occasional flashes of humor.

BarbaraBB Great review. I am halfway and I agree with you so far. 2mo
Megabooks I see what you‘re saying about the characters in the second half. 2mo
kwmg40 Nice review. I too found the translation lessons really interesting. 2mo

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

It's a fun read. Does get quite technical in some places. It's a well executed book.

This week on my podcast, bestselling author S.K. Ali is on to share one of her personal faves, THE DISREPUTABLE HISTORY OF FRANKIE LANDAU-BANKS by E. Lockhart. You may be less familiar with this title than others we‘ve covered on the show, but let me just say… it might be at the top of *my* all-time list now. Tune in for our conversation about all things boarding school, feminism, old boys clubs, and power. 💪 Listen at the link in my bio!

2.75 stars- This book was very underwhelming. It had an unsatisfying ending and just generally fell flat. I can see what the author was going for, but it didn't deliver. It wasn't super predictable in some ways but in others, it was way too predictable. Overall just meh.

A truly excellent thrill ride. Not sure I loved the denouement, but the open ending was fun, and I was fully immersed in the setting. #yathriller #yalit
