This was an enjoyable good. This book was a little darker. I felt this book was like less focused on character and plot development. There was more worldbuilding. I had difficulty falling the plot lines and characters.

It holds so much depth and raises so many question.
It is truly one of the books I feel everybody should read at some point in their lives.
Loved the rendition of the author as narrator and a full cast for the various voices. Very well done and an absolute joy to listen.
I got my copy from the local library, and am ever so thankful for them for having such wonderful books available.

âYou ever spend any time among the witches?â
âYes,â said Grumman. âAnd among academicians, and among spirits. I found folly everywhere, but there were grains of wisdom in every stream of it. Not doubt there was much more wisdom that I failed to recognize. Life is hard, Mr. Scoresby, but we cling to it all the same.â
âIt was difficult to tell them the truth when a lie would have been so much easier for them to understand.â
