Okay, this one is really tough for me to review, because this was one of those rare instances where the audiobook narration really bothered me. And in some cases, it was nearly impossible for me to tell whether it was the writing that was throwing me off or the weird cadence of the narrator.

What I liked:

  • The premise. Combining high fantasy with a workplace comedy a la The Office. YES.

What I didn’t like:

  • The characters didn’t connect for me, and I felt like we covered not a lot of ground for the length of this book, and the, (in what is a huge pet-peeve of mine) we got an abrupt cliffhanger in an ending that didn’t give much satisfaction.

So, I won’t be reading the sequel, but lots of people loved this book, so it could just be me! If the premise intrigues you, definitely check it out, but as much as I love audiobooks, I recommend you go print for this one.

⭐⭐⭐

Not for me, but it could be for you! (Just pass on the audiobook)

Thanks for reading!

  1. I was intrigued but the summary as well but the audiobook fell flat to me! I just DNF’d it this week! It sounded as if it was written on middle school level. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Glad to discover it wasn’t just me. Good review!

    1. Yes! I’m kind of surprised it’s so popular, but I’m also curious if my feelings would’ve been different if I’d read it in print. 🤔
