I'm not really sure how to rate this. I may have enjoyed the book more if I had read it rather than listened to it. The audiobook narrator was giving very little, and for a book that seems like it has a narrative voice with a lot of personality, it clashed with narration that didn't add much life to the text. I found my mind wandering a lot and had to go back and re-listen to big chunks of the story. I'm not sure how well I grasped the worldbuilding either. I think this does read on the younger side, more YA/middle grade maybe? There are some spooky scenes though.
