In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune

2.0

I'm a newer fan of TJ Klune's work-- I was unsure as I began reading _House on the Cerulean Sea_; it was quite a bit more fantastical of a story than I typically read, but I hung with it, and ended up liking it a LOT, especially as it wound to a close. This spurred me to pick up _Under the Whispering Door_, which WRECKED me... such a BEAUTIFUL story of what happens to us after death. From there, I eagerly added several other Klune books to my TBR stack, including _Puppets_. But it just didin't do it for me... I read other reviews that said to hang with it, and I tried, but when my time limit was up on my audiobook loan, I was ready to give it back. I'm sure I would have found some beautiful philosophical jewel in its latter pages, had I been able to hang in, but the modern fantasy version of Pinnochio with robots was just a bit too far for me.
