What really kept me engaged and in awe of this book was the folklore and mythology woven in, and the vast "slightly different" America the author created. I did like the characters and wanted to know how the plot would play out, but I wasn't 100% enthralled? It's probably part genre (my tastes lean less magical realism and more high fantasy) and part relationship-based (I'm a basic bitch that requires romance lol). Overall, it was a pleasant listening experience and I would absolutely recommend.

4.25 out of 5 stars, ★★★★☆
