I was so incredibly excited to read this book, because of the never ending hype that it’s been getting online for the last several years. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my read of Archer’s Voice. As the book went on, I started to enjoy it less and less, because the dialogue became cringier and the characters became more naïve/ridiculous in their inner monologues and decision making. I think the general plot idea was a super interesting one that could have been explored in a compelling way, but extremely predictable plot twists and many “convenient” things that were used to advance the plot just came off as cheesy. I know that I’m very much opposite to what most people who have read this book felt, but I unfortunately didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as I was hoping to.
