Review: Katabasis

Katabasis Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Ok I might be an exception, but this book was TERRIBLE! It was really just an excuse for the author to show off how smart and well-read she is. The characters are one-dimensional. There's no actual spark. The book drops a million names and ideas without explaining any of them. What a waste.

Review: Finding Grace

Image
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read A LOT of books so it's really really rare for me to find a book with a premise I have never seen before. And this one took the cake. By the end of the first chapter, you're like WHOA did not see that coming. And then you're spending a bunch of the rest of this book reorienting. I know people will have mixed feelings but I loved it. I liked the twist and then the turn the story took. I liked how the author played with the way stories are told. I liked how the characters grew and surprised you both with their stupidity and humanness. I think this one will be controversial, people will love or hate. I am of the former camp. And I loved listening to the audio. with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
