“Delicious! Wiswell did an amazing job of keeping Shesheshen's voice unique--slightly off-putting yet largely endearing--throughout the narrative, and I adored her adoration of Homily. Carmen Rose's narration was utterly decadent as she described the various viscera and awkward social interactions throughout, but Rose likewise managed to really embody the monster's clear love for her large, insecure human. The whole production made me a bit hungry and filled me with yearning, and I'm just...”

“This audiobook amazing; I'm impressed with how both narrators fit their roles, and it wasn't jarring in the least to switch between them. I loved that Hester got to be such a compelling character as a confident but human older woman without either magic or beauty to recommend her. Some of Evangeline's evilness seemed a bit over the top, but it's still an intriguing and satisfying story. ”

“Fascinating horror elements come out in this installment, and I'm enjoying seeing more and more of Chih's human side. Questions I didn't even know existed until the end are revealed by their very answers, and the language and atmosphere remain gorgeous and engaging. ”

“This book slowly and deliciously gutted me. Valente’s Palimpsest in the long-term with Aziraphale and Crowley’s primal and whimsical counterparts. The inhuman pining, and the commitment to these not being normal people who express their love in inhuman ways, was grand, and I appreciate the commitment to them being unique and distinct creatures. Chapter 20 cemented this as a favorite for me, and it made me want to read even more, both of Vo’s work (quickly becoming a top-tier favorite author...”

“I went into this audiobook with no expectations, and I was captivated and horrified for the full ~45 minutes. Recently I picked up some retellings of classic Greek myths, and I was unimpressed by the choices made in that collection, finishing it with a bitter taste in my mouth from the unvarnished versions' uncritically delivered misogyny. So as disturbing as this short story was, the character and thought put into this still recognizable myth were compelling and enjoyable. Miller has such a...”
