A review by kaequinn
Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow
4.0
Firstly, I have to say that the use of prose is incredible. The way which characters and movements are depicted is on an entirely different level.
I think the audiobook did a disservice to this one. I started with that (being my preferred method) but the methodical, rather emotionless performance ended up being more grating than immersive. If I would have continued in that vein I would have likely given it three stars but I’m giving four with the assumption my opinion was tainted by the audio format.
I switched to the ebook halfway though because it felt like I ✨should✨ like the story and was grateful I did. While it’s not groundbreaking by any means, it is interesting and entertaining. The characters are consistent without any of the sudden afflictions of stupidity or ineptitude for the sake of plot.
