Review: My Husband’s Wife

My Husband's Wife
My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Truly crazy, twisty, fun, weird, and not what you expect. Alice Feeney can keep you on your toes from the first page to the very last one and I enjoyed every minute I spent with this one. I kept thinking it would be some crazy sci fi story. Some duplication. Some twin thing. But of course she managed to surprise me completely. I love listening to these on audio while I cook and do errands in the house. It makes it so much more interesting!

Review: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold

Through Gates of Garnet and Gold
Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While story and character-wise this was not one of my favorites, McGuire’s imagination will never disappoint and the worlds she builds are one of a kind. This story is no exception. It’s intriguing, thought-provoking and reminds you of all the dangers there are in the worlds we make for ourselves. and the ones we have to live in. I truly hope she never ever stops this series.

Review: Departure

Departure
Departure by Julian Barnes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While the writing for this book is so so beautiful in parts, the navel gazing and meta nature of this story just didn’t work for me. I am not interested enough in Julian Barnes himself I guess. It was still really beautiful in parts but not really for me.

Review: All We Have Is Time

All We Have Is Time
All We Have Is Time by Amy Tordoff
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I know a lot of people have compared this to the Invisible Life of Addie La Rue and it has a similar premise but I also thought that it was readable and enjoyable all on its own and it has some unique twists and differences. I think the writing was so so in parts and great in others. I found myself invested and wanting to keep reading and enjoyed the time I spent with it.
