Music from Another World by Robin Talley
3.0

Oh, how I wish goodreads allowed half stars! 3.5/5

This one is kind of hard to rate since it isn’t the kind of thing I usually read, so I’m still trying to organize my thoughts. I’d say it’s a very solid and sweet historical YA, something I enjoyed while I was listening to it but nothing really grabbed me and wrenched at my heart strings. I liked the characters and had a good time with them, but I didn’t necessarily feel super attached to them, though I was definitely rooting for them. I also wish it had felt a bit more heavy on the period piece and the setting, not a lot of that came through.

I picked this up on sale as an audiobook and it did make for really good listening while casually cleaning or running errands. The voice actresses both do a really good job, and I think I probably enjoyed this more as an audiobook than I would have as a print book.

I think there are others who would really love this one, and I found it enjoyable, but maybe bot something that is super gripping and to my taste, but I’m still glad I read it!
