A Thousand Heartbeats
by Kiera Cass
3.5 stars, rounded up. I think this book would be a solid 4 stars if I read it myself instead of listening to the audiobook. I had a free borrow on audible and the text copy was not available through my library, so I couldn’t read along like I normally do. The narrators brought my rating down for sure. The male narrator made Lennox’s voice sound higher and whinier than I imagined Lennox’s should be. The female narrator actually did a better job of Lennox’s voice than the male! And the third female narrator who voiced the 3rd person perspective was pretty awful. Very robotic and nasal.
Now the story. It was good. Not great, not amazing, but good. I wasn’t too invested until about 3/4 of the way through when I realized I was almost done with it and I didn’t want it to end. The were two pretty surprising twists that added to the depth of the story and the ending was satisfying. The battle scene towards the end was fun, seeing all the characters mixed up and choosing sides.
A few pretty graphic violent scenes or remembrances. I think I will let my mature 12 year old read this, but only after I warn her of a few things.
