loved the yearning, the atmosphere, and the twist on the classic "grow into yourself and your power" story beat!

The first installment in this series is just ok. It took me SO long to listen to, because I just did not care when I put it down. The world is interesting, I thought the planetary science woven into the fantasy was cool, and the magic system being based on sound is neat. But I did not love how the (few) female characters were written. The characters in general I just didn't really feel any connection to. I'm not sure I'll continue the series, definitely don't plan to just yet.

fever dream of a prologue. love the desolate western/lost in time and space aesthetic/vibe, dunno what the hell is happening. not sure i'd continue if it weren't for fans of the series telling me it gets better. looking forward to the next!

this one hurt 😭

the only reason I finished this book was for a book bingo. the entire conflict is two people falling in love at first sight with a complete stranger, then never talking like adults omg
