Fun and cozy

Revisado: 02-26-25

An easy, fun listen with a little romance and a little mystery. Fans of other Elizabeth Knowlden reads will enjoy this one!

I loved this one- just a tip, this exact same audio book and it’s sequels are available for free on the Libby app if you have a library card.

A relaxing, fun listen

Revisado: 03-01-24

This is a fun little listen for Potter fans- but it seems like the narrator is not a Potter fan as he regularly mispronounces words, spells, and character names. Still worth listening to!

Just a good time

This was a fun read! I always enjoy a good Sherlock Holmes, they are funny and interesting and not too long. Great to listen to when you have something else to do like housework or a craft

Great Story, Did not like Persephone

Revisado: 01-10-23

I think the author did an amazing job world-building. The world has stayed with me after finishing this book and makes me want to return. I loved all the characters except Persephone. Unfortunately, she’s the main character so it made it feel like a chore to finish the book. I found her childish, petulant, unintelligent, and annoying. However, I will say that I think I have such strong feelings about it because the author wrote her so well. She has lived an extremely sheltered life and is trying to assert herself in the ‘real world’. Her low self esteem and self doubt just exhausted me. I really hope the author writes more books from this universe with stronger female characters!

Life changing

A necessary read for all humans. The authors own narration is so impactful, I cried when it was over.

Really enjoyed this!

Revisado: 03-09-21

I really enjoyed this, the different story lines kept me very interested, it was a fun and academic read. I like the fidelity to the classics, and the creative retelling. However, as a native Greek speaker I am disappointed at the author’s mispronunciations of the name of places and people in her own book. She mispronounces Calliope, Aeaea, Aegina, and other names. I’m not sure if these are the pronunciations they teach in the UK, but it did create an annoyance throughout the audiobook. However, don’t let this deter you, the book is still very enjoyable and well worth the read.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 09-22-20

I thought this would be more of an academic book about how the Catholic Church influenced Western Civ; but it is a biased listing of all of the church’s ‘accomplishments’. Early in the book (first six minutes) the author even dismisses the allegations of sexual assault in the church as ‘rumors of corruption spread by people who know little of the church’. As a religious scholar, I take issue with the way information is presented and events that are left out. If you are a Catholic wanting to hear about your church’s ‘greatest hits’, this book is for you. If you are an academic or someone attempting to do serious research, I do not recommend it.
