Some Faraway Place by Lauren Shippen

I liked it, but the problem here is that it’s very much an expansion of the podcast, in a way the previous two books are. (The Infinite Noise is totally independent other than a few scenes, and A Neon Darkness even more so.)
This wouldn’t be a problem, I think, if it leaned into that, but it tried to eat its cake and have it, too. So we got a bunch of scenes and plots rehashed from the podcast, which feels redundant if you had already listen, but not enough of them to clearly explain all those plots, if you hadn’t.
