ptaradactyl's review

adventurous funny mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I enjoy how well Yu manages to convey something from the perspective of a character while making sure the reader should be skeptical of the narrative at the same time.

Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#4 in series (I started reading this series in June 2022 and committed to it in June 2023.)
Will I read other installments?     Probably Not             Maybe              Definitely
I don't think there will be anymore. This was published in 2017, so I'll put it on the wait list for four years before filing it under "retired and dead". Who knows, maybe Ms. Yu will write another installment. I have a book from another of Ms. Yu's series which I will check out at some point.
Comparison to others in series:     Not as good           About the same           Better
I liked this slightly more than the last one. The tension Ms. Yu created around Nina was excellent.
The narrator was Emily Woo Zeller. A good job as always.
