I originally was not going to listen to the audio version of this book after finishing the first book in audio for the first time, but the ending hit me so hard and it felt so magical being read by the narrator that I just... have to listen to this one now! I originally read the hardcover version when it first published, so I forget some things that happened but I'm excited. I know this one will be heart wrenching

Idk about anyone else but it would be super fun to be able to see how many other people are currently reading a book 👀

I saw something today and I’m really curious what other readers think.

Someone commented on an author’s personal Instagram post to say they weren’t a fan of the new book. The author replied with “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” The person who posted the screenshot felt icky about the author’s response.

Personally, I didn’t think the author was out of line. I don’t really see the point of going onto an author’s own page just to drop a negative comment. That isn’t a review, it’s just putting criticism directly in front of the author for no real reason. Review platforms exist for a reason.

I also saw someone comment back to me about this ‘but sometimes authors don’t read reviews and won’t see it’ and I just always felt reviews are for other readers? I don’t know. And also how is ‘I didn’t like this book’ helpful in any way and why does it need to be seen?

That’s just me. What do you all think? Is it fine to leave negative opinions on an author’s page, or should that stuff stay on review sites instead?

Curious to hear everyone’s take.

Every time I start to reread this book I am in awe of Travis Baldree’s narration/voice acting skills. The characters feel so present and real
