Audiobook narrator was great. Had different voices, tones, and personalities for the characters. I don't always love men narrating female characters, but he did pretty good.

Kind of wish we had a bit more time with all the characters and could get more of a feel for the county in general, but other than that it was an excellent read. 

I do appreciate that although things got very very dark, it didn't describing those things in depth.

Didn't love the beginning, it just seemed to be a bit of a rough start (some weak story setups and inorganic interactions). However, it did continue to get better as the story went. By the last 20% I was definitely invested, so I am hoping that continues into book 2.

5.0

Such a cute holiday read. I absolutely loved it.

I was expecting, due to the nature of the plot(reliving the holiday) that the story would feel slow, but the pacing was excellent. I'm actually amazed how much the author got into this story in such a short time.

Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.

Trouble focusing on the audiobook, wasn't retaining the story.
