A review by themindlessmess
The Accidental Alchemist by Gigi Pandian
3.0
A promising plot which got messed up by several honest (sometimes stupid) mistake. Honestly I don’t want to criticize the book because I’m torn. The plot is very promising of a fantasy murder mystery but it got ruined by mistakes from the author. Overall I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook. I want to read the series but I’m not sure if I wanna spend money on it.
Too many vegan recipes (many of them extremely absurd - Lettuce, Ginger, Cacao for a smoothie???!!) and they were being included during the “intense” climax of the book?! Like there are murderers on the loose, we’re catching them along with some other intense shit and why am I reading about a hot chocolate recipe?
Also who takes in (almost adopts if not babysits) for a 14 year old whom you have met only once before?
So many honest as well as stupid mistakes. But if you put them aside a decent enough storyline.
