god I love a closed room murder mystery, and I’m once again obsessed with being in Kem and Rika’s growing relationship - I love we haven’t just jumped into them a year down the line and everything is settled, seeing them learning how to be professional and together is so cool

I’m not sure if this is an audiobook issue, but I am really struggling to differentiate between the two main character voices, and honestly their characterisation itself. The plot and lore of the story is very cool so far but all the characters are falling a little flat for me so far

Before I started reading this i saw a few threads of people saying the jokes/some of the interactions between characters read very YA. Now I've read those parts I raise you - the characters are in their 30s, the author is in her 50s. Have we considered she is simply writing characters with what she percieves as Millenial energy... because some of the banter comes across very Buzzfeed, tumblr, "lol so random" energy, which whilst cringe honestly made me believe these characters are in their 30s more lol. Anyways I'm enjoying myself heaps, I was worried this would be like The Will of the Many all over again but I really enjoy being in Neema's head as she is so neurodivergent coded lol, like yes sweetie being right is so much FUN

3.75 🌟 I really enjoyed the narrative of this book, there were some banger one lines but it did not give me the emotional gut punch I anticipated like I should have been harrowed, entranced or kicking my feet at some of the plot points but I wasn’t. I think it was a little hindered by the dual pov, and it meant we didn’t connect really deeply to any characters and their inner world. A lot of the pacing felt a little weird, it could have benefitted from being a longer book I reckon - some tendrils of the narrative felt unfinished to me. I did really like how people’s relationships and way they related to eachother shifted as tales unfolded and were retold, and the use of extracts from texts and letters at the start of chapters were a great way to situate the political climate of the empire tales were used to build. It was such an interesting story, and had a lot of whimsy and really fun structure but just didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I swapped maybe 30% in from audio to physical which really upped my enjoyment as I think I was able to read it at a better pace?

This book really has some Once Upon a Time family tree kinda shit going on I’m honestly impressed another piece of media is getting away with it

ok yeah this slaps as a physical book, reading the audiobook was almost too slow physically for the pace I wanted to be reading this book

oh this short story is just as delicious as I remember and such a good grounding for the everlasting - passions include characters being doomed by their own narrative

I bought a physical copy of this yesterday as I really was struggling to connect to the characters in the audiobook! I think the concept of it is so cool so I am hoping this gets me more immersed

I want to a) feel something and b) see how this compares to the everlasting as I was undone by this short story on my first read
