dark mysterious

4.5

The pacing was a bit weird, especially at the end, and I would've loved to see more action after that first action scene in the beginning. Instead, there was mostly a lot of talking and thinking instead of doing tbh.
But apart from that I really enjoyed listening to this!! The audiobook and the different narrators are great, thanks to the voice actors! And I especially love Nico as a character, and his relationship to Gideon (which is probably meant to be a platonic, very deep friendship but tbh I do kind of ship it romantically).

monstrouscosmos's review

I really enjoyed the world building, and the exploration of each character as individuals as well as their group dynamics. the perspective taking of the chapters was also interesting, and the narrators all added nuance to their performances in ways I appreciated (especially during internal monologues). unfortunately Part 6 definitely got too trigger heavy for me, and I found the expositions started to get both much longer and much less believable. not the book for me, unfortunately!

Brilliant book, loved the idea of meadians, and the setting despite being so small was interesting and a place I'd like to be. Loved the characters, and I'm excited to see more of them in the next two books.
