It's partly on me, I think I'm not in the right headspace for this book and I think the audio version wasn't the right choice for it, but I also don't like it enough to switch formats.
My main issue is that it is very confusing. The author is cramming SO much lore and world building into the first part of the book, it all feels incredibly rushed. Same goes for the relationships. I'm not even 25% in and I have already had two characters that met in the story now say they love each other. It feels very fast and rushed.
My biggest issue is the POV switching. It is confusing. Especially because you can have a chapter in some character's POV and then suddenly briefly switch to another person in the scene to hear their thoughts and feelings. I really don't like that....more

I just couldn't take the repetitiveness anymore. If I had to hear about this lady being sad her dog died while she was asleep one more time with the exact same wording I was going to lose it. I just feel like the stories were getting so similar and there wasn't really anything new. I have to drop this series....more

It feels kind of weird to DNF a book this late, but I realized I was just forcing myself through it. This series was fun but it wasn't quite what I was looking for or hoping for, and it just didn't really managed to keep my attention. I was thinking I wouldn't continue the series, then wondered why I'd force myself to finish the book then.
All that to say, I liked the first book but after that it didn't really manage to capture me. ...more

The tone of this book just feels off to me. It feels like it wants to be cozy, but then there's also this rather dark undertone that feels like it doesn't fit. The plot just really slowed down when I feel like there should be more urgency. I just don't think this book is quite for me....more

It sounded very intriguing, but the story went in a different direction than I had expected. I don't know why exactly, but I just couldn't really connect to the story.

I like this concept a lot but I just couldn't deal with the absolute caricature of an evil woman that was Olivia. I couldn't get past the sex scene between her and her husband, it was ridiculous.

I didn't really mind anything about this book, but the format just wasn't working for me. I thought the writing was pretty good and interesting, but the different storylines in the book meant that the storylines all moved really fast, which I didn't really enjoy.
