This book is the definition of, “Had us in the first half, not gonna life.”
I thought I was going to love Aetherbound. Beautiful cover with a pretty girl? (LMAOOOO THAT ALWAYS PULLS ME IN HFJDKSOS) Spacefaring sci-fi with rigid, though breakable structures? A compelling, complex protagonist (at first)? TRANSGENDER PRIMARY CHARACTER?!?!!? sign me upppppppppp
and everything changed when part two attacked
this book had an excellent start and truly thrilling build-up, but simply forgot to make the story worthwhile. I appreciated certain aspects, such as the ones I listed, but the second half (or even, the last three-fourths) of the story were so underwhelming and rushed that I found myself wishing that my Sora audiobook could exceed 3x in playback speed. the main relationships were rushed — this could have been attributed to how short the book is (5 hours in audiobook form), which I usually appreciate if the book has substance — and each plot point disappointed
I kind of want to lower this to 2 stars but it’s an excellent premise on-paper so it’s a 3
