    Very very cool idea for a book. I loved the characters so much and had a really good time listening to this. Bob was an excellent narrator.

  • The Empress of Salt and Fortune (The Singing Hills Cycle, #1)
    To Audiobook Listeners!

    I am starting this book over for the third time because how much my brain is struggling to keep up. Its good, but the folk tale language and time jumping makes it a high concertation audiobook. I usually listen at x1.75 or higher, but I am doing x1.15 on my third attempt and its working much better.

    I feel like this is a book that is better read, but the wait time for the kindle is over 4 weeks and I have a time restraint of the PB read along and a book club book bingo.

    (if anyone else is in a long wait via Libby for the book I recommend checking out the Queer Liberation Library, which has free cards and a great selection of queer options)

    And for note I have been doing audiobooks since books on tape were a thing. Take this one slow to fully get it.

    This was slightly hard to follow as an audiobook but the writing was beautiful and I loved the queer undertones. I might re-read in physical form and see how I feel about it then.
