I needed a romantasy book that didn't take a lot of brain power and boy did this book deliver. I had a lot of fun listening to this one and will be diving right into the second one immediately!

Was this the best written book in the world? No probably not. I did however EAT this book up. This was a fun world and magic system to get immersed in and I will for sure be reading the second book.

King is just an incredible story teller and world builder. I felt like I was pulled right into the past and experiencing everything that John was too.

The narrator for this audiobook all so did a wonderful job. I have only "read" King books via audio and he does a great job every time!

I am in fact still thinking about this book even having finished it a couple weeks ago.

I went in without really reading any summaries, just knowing this was a new book this year and I'd seen it on a couple recommendation lists. As someone who has become more conscious of "smart" technology and how it's used every day in life, this futuristic world did not seem that far away from present day. The characters had some complexities, the family we follow seemed like a relatable, estranged family, and the ending left me both satisfied and wanting more.

If you liked TJ Clune's In the Live's of Puppets or the movie Smart House you should definitely give this book a try!

I really did enjoy this audiobook while listening to it. I read it last month and had to do a little reread of the summary, so this is not a book that really stuck with me but I do remember being reminded of the book Gone Girl while reading this. A similar but more modern take on a woman disappearing and a man trying to find her.

Overall this was a good audiobook and an enjoyable read, but by this time next year I won't remember anything that happened in this book.
