A review by curatoriallyyours
The Airways by Jennifer Mills

dark mysterious slow-paced

2.0

There’s literary fiction then there’s whatever this is. I had no idea what was going on basically the whole way through the book and not in an immersive way (LOTE by Shola von Reinhold does this very well) - if I had cared more about the characters or if the mystery had been made to feel worth unravelling I might have felt more compelled to try to work out what was going on. I listened to the audiobook version via my library (boy am I glad I did not spend money on this book!) and the narrator’s voice also failed to make the story sound more interesting, but I blame the writing rather than the actor. Some points given for some of the descriptive passages I guess, but overall this book misses the mark, in my opinion, and I’m glad I’m done with it.
