Soul Of The Sword

rtc but rq: the audiobook was SAAAAUUUURRRRRR GOOD

onto the actual review:
i can't sing praises for this book in audiobook form enough. i listened to this while i was moving and traveling, and it felt like the perfect companion to do mindless tasks with as we follow yumeko & co. on the next leg of their journey. it reads like an anime (if that makes any sense) and the pacing is just perfect enough to make you want to keep listening. i was actually almost a little sad that my plane ride wasn't longer so i could read more of the book!

i think in comparison to the first book, i felt like there were a lot of reveals and gotchas that i didn't feel wove in perfectly, or made me feel exasperated. like of course i wanted the action and adventure to keep going, but there were a few plot points that, in retrospect, felt like a little bit of a waste of time. but i guess if we're staying with that anime comp, there's gotta be some filler episodes, right?

super excited for the last book! eager to start up my libro.fm subscription again so i can listen to the last book in the series :-)
