I listened to this book in Audible because it wasn’t available through Libby. (I know, I’m ashamed). The narrator was TERRIBLE!!! Worse voice imaginable. The writing of this book was redundant too, a lot of repeated words to describe things that had me rolling my eyes at parts. The story was okay, but it could have been so much better. It had so much potential, especially to me as a Giraffe lover! Worst book I’ve read all year. Not the worst book of all time though. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT listen to the audio recording of this book if you decide to read it.

I loved this!! I really enjoyed reading this book, it kept me engaged the whole time. I thought it had excellent political/social dynamics and its twists and turns never failed to surprise me. The only part I didn’t like is that much of the book’s climax and game changing plot points happen in the last 200 pages. I will definitely read the next book in this series. I can’t stop thinking about this book!

Great review of how language plays into the phenomenon of cults. Perfect length and strong research! Compelling and easy to understand.

This was a nice guide to reflect on, about how you can incorporate Jesuit values in a day to day life. I felt it to be comprehensive (and maybe a little too technical at times). So, the only reason I give it 4 out of 5 is that I feel like I will have to return to it to follow the examen and prayer instructions. But it was really nice, and I imagine myself actually returning to it to follow the examen and his tips for it.

I stopped reading this because I am not a parent (yet) and I was more curious in the societal problems and issues children are facing. He discusses most of that in the first 200 pages, and I put it down after that.

Actually keeps you guessing the whole book. Detailed and realistic! I liked it a lot, and have already recommended it to someone.

So much dialogue!! I found myself annoyed. It started so great but by the end I found the main character annoying and her actions weird…. iykyk. I didn’t like it and I felt like it had a lot of potential. Not going to read the next one.

This was a good book! I loved that it was set in Medieval Islamic lands and the Indian Ocean, gave this fantasy a unique setting. I enjoyed it.
