Review of 'Keeper of Lost Things' on 'Goodreads'

Promising, but it fell flat for me. Perhaps it just didn't work as an audiobook... the story jumped around from character to character and I found I didn't really care about any of them. The friendships felt flimsy so by the end of the book I was just waiting for it to wrap up.

Review of 'Keeper of Lost Things' on 'Goodreads'

Oh, boy. This was lovely. There were parts that I worried might turn too dark, but trust me -- they are not. Just enough shadow to give definition and plausibility to this very magical story. If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen or Ellen Herrick, you'll almost certainly like this. Especially if you are an Anglophile, like I am.
