I couldn't find anything to relate to either in the characters, their emotions, or the situations they found themselves in

I couldn't put it down... it really lives up to the hype

Really enjoyed reading this. The blend of magic and realism was perfectly balanced, so the story felt like it could be real even though there are paranormal elements. I didn't see the ending coming, but it was built up enough that it was satisfying.

It was entertaining, but some were much better than others

The Whispers is a great book that uses shifting perspectives to tell a compelling story that was equal parts intense and mesmerizing. It starts off slowly after giving you an incomplete glimpse at the end, but ramps up speed all the way to the end.

There's a lot of good to be said about the characters and their characterizations, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't spoil the fun of letting their world itself for you instead.

Sleepwalk seems like an in-depth character study of the protagonist; however, I was well into the novel without feeling like the story had advanced, so I was unable to finish. If you are looking for a slow burn with world building as it relates to the main character, you may have more success with this one.

Fast-paced from the start while still world-building, the book was hard to put down. The characters were complex and well-developed.

2.75/5

It was a solid follow-up to Middlegame & even more enjoyable. The story is more linear, so it's easier to understand and the dynamics between the characters are (on some level) more relatable. Some chapters were longer than I'd have liked for a quick bedtime read, but even the long ones moved quickly so I never felt like I was reading long passages.

Once I understood the chronology and what was going on, I enjoyed the story (though I still had to jump back and forth a bit to fill in some gaps). The dynamic between the characters evolve in ways that use some of my favorite tropes. The book would have been five stars if it were easier to get my initial foothold into the plot.
