    Can we talk about the cover please? The fact that the eye holes of the hood double as mouths? It's so unnerving and it's perfect

    Channie Waites did not narrate this audiobook. She performed this audiobook. She performed it so well I added it to my My Taste by the 43% mark. What an absolutely glorious listen. The ending had me crying on my walk to work. The characters are so fleshed out and real and the plot is eye-openingly monstrous. Even with slightly less than half the year left I am confident in saying Ring Shout is going to be one of my, if not the, best reads of the year.

    Reread #1: The physical book is almost as good as the audio. I picked up so much I had missed the first time around. The other sword? The one tied to the suffering of the slave owners? I need that story *immediately. 🥺 I got goosebumps during the Nana Jean's Shout scene, during the audio and my physical reread. This is just such a great book.
