Thought-provoking and Inspiring

This book is wonderful. It not only explains the concept of Hygge in a comprehensive and relatable way, the information (even the more statistical or scientific points) is delivered in a way that is very entertaining and humorous.

Another great installment

Reviewed: 07-23-22

I really enjoyed this book, as I have the others in this series. Amanda Flower's series are generally fun, light-hearted reads and this series is my favorite. I love the simple magical element and that it supports rather than becomes the plot. Clever mysteries keep you guessing and follow to a logical conclusion. Overall well written and the narration is wonderful.

Good story

Reviewed: 07-15-22

As the first in a series, the was a good start. The plot was well done, and the premise of the garden is intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes as the series continues. However, the narration was very difficult to get past. She does a good job with all the other voices but her interpretation of a Nashville accent for the main character is just terrible, especially with certain words. I got past most of it but every time she said "protest " I flinched and nearly stopped the book.

Gripping, Beautiful Story.

Dragonfly is perfectly written and performed. The grand scale and number of characters to keep up with was daunting in the beginning but rich, intimate details and emotional stories brought even the minor characters into focus. I was completely invested and couldn't stop listening to it. An amazing book, well worth the read.

Edge of your Seat Thriller

Loved this book. Could not quit listening to it. I had high expectations because I really enjoyed "Something in the Water" and this one exceeded those expectations.

Fascinating and a little sad

Reviewed: 08-26-20

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. It's certainly a glimpse into the world of 70s rock n roll - the process of writing music, becoming the band, the drugs & craziness. But moreover it's a really moving look at why people do the things they do, and what they'll do for people they love. Overall, it's just a beautiful story.

Wildly imaginative and fun fantasy adventure

Reviewed: 08-24-19

Book 2 expands the fantastical world of the Athena Club out of London throughout Europe, adding strange new characters and it's hard to guess who is an ally and who an enemy. These books are just fun and Kate Reading does a great job distinguishing voices and accents of so many diverse characters.

Third Book in Series - very good overall

Reviewed: 07-13-19

The 3rd installment is overall very good, although I thought it moved a little slower getting to any action, not quite as tension filled as the first two. It's definitely worth the read (listen) but the title is misleading, Houdini's role is fairly minor in the plot, and for a story set on an ocean liner, it should have felt much more constricted or claustrophobic.
