“The Shadows That Listen” by Louisa Carmody

Wow wow wow. For a debut, this blew me away! I was hooked from like 15% in. I love that the FMC is courageous and strong. She’s definitely the knight in shining armor here. Her [Amara] banter with Nathaniel the archangel was so good. It was very refreshing to read something that reminded me so much of the early 2010s dystopian era but was also so unique. I loved the modern elements too. I thought the writing was really well done and not cringey at all!!! My only complaint is I want to unknow this book just so I can meet it again. Well done. 5 stars
