It’s an interesting world and well written, so it sounds really great narrated into audio.

It’s both boring and intruiging… Will most likely be worth the time and effort.

Leef’s robot, Dot, is too precious. Leef is undoubtedly my favorite human side character though.

It’s one delicious YA book. And I don’t often enjoy YA. What else can I say? Give this one a try.

The MCs are fantastic together and apart. Rennet is charismatic and confident and flirtatious. Easy to love and both MCs are keeping secrets from the reader. Not so much untruthful protagonists as conveniently holding back details from the reader due to first person.
Trope spotted at 22%: Renner’s last name has been merged with the Royal family’s name as a tag of ownership. He feels it a loss of identity.

Picked it back up, but am choosing to DNF due to a conflict of worldview.

Laurisa Brandt is on page 10 of 182 of The Martian Chronicles
I laughed out loud at how relatable the apathy and who-cares attitudes of the Martians is about human visiting from earth.

He paused, shaking his head. “But those corrupt political parties are what control everything back on Earth. At least in my government and many others on the planet. The global elites that run them will come together and ensure it is a puppet of theirs that fills the seat. About as far as you can come from someone who will actually have the citizens of Earth’s interests at heart.”

Colton is wrestling with the weight of potentially being the Son of the Prophets and the responsibility that comes with it. This story develops slowly but beautifully. I love how it takes its time.

Laurisa Brandt is on page 143 of The Curse of Jean Lafitte
A fun piratey, New Orleans adventure for Halloween or a road trip.
I’m 50% in and unfortunately there is a lot of repetition about Lafitte’s need to find the jewels and break the curse, but not enough revealing of new details concerning the curse and how to break it. While the MCs are both adorable, I am struggling to care about the curse a wee bit. However the story is still fun.
