I was really impressed by the author's ability to create a very unique world with real gods and disbelievers, those who have the craft of magic and necromancy and how they all can coexist and work side by side. The characters are unique, at the plot is predictable with some of its basic ideas, yet wildly unpredictable when it comes to individual situations, problems, and character choices. The narrator did a fair job of creating unique character voices, but her pacing was not always good for me. I preferred to listen to this at 1.5 speed in order to get through it more quickly.

I confess that it took me the first 60% of the book before it really hooked me. Esme's story is a fascinating and tragic one and I do actually wish for more when it comes to Iris and what happens next, but it was pretty hard for me to love the story at the beginning. if you feel that way, just know that the revelations at the end are worth it!

I was enthralled by this story. I am a mother who has felt almost everything articulated by the protagonist. I was deeply moved and I laughed and cried multiple times. I was so engulfed in this story that it breaks my heart I cannot experience the production described at the end. Love love love it. I think that at another time in my life, I would not have understood and perhaps would have been repulsed by parts of this, but as a mother to a 3 year old boy, this hit me deeply. Good art makes you feel something and it certainly did.

The story is fine but the fact that the two narrators continually pronounce the names of characters differently is beyond distracting. I'm writing this before I can even finish the book because I'm not sure that I will.

I appreciate the story, but it felt choppy and self-promoting at times. I am happy for the author's success and happy to see a Middle Eastern woman who is also disabled doing well, but the story didn't grip me or make me laugh the way I had hoped coming from a comedian.
