Worth the read/listen

It did get really long in the middle of the book, I literally fell asleep for a few and didn’t even bother going back and don’t feel I missed anything

Definitely unique concept though that I wish was explained more , like how can people tell what caste someone is just by looking?

I also am not a fan of the immediate fall in love thing, but some people like that

Unique but a little slow

Overall a pleasure, truly interesting premise and characters, but pretty slow moving. Well written and narrated.

Good book

The book was amazing but the narrator wasn’t that good. She said several words weird and was kinda deadpan all the way through. Still an amazing book though, recommended it to anyone.

really really good story

the story was really good, and the narrator does quite a good job with the male voices. i’ve had several audiobooks ruined by a narrator trying too hard (or not very hard at all) to get the genders right, especially with different ages. this narrator knocked it out of the park.

Timely

In these times of pandemic and immigration conflict, this book is an interesting take on how we treat the "others" among us. Ultimately, we are one tribe, but historically we do so like to separate ourselves to justify our fear. I enjoyed this story, from the perspective of a character from the marginalized outcasts.

Compelling story, bad narrator

The world felt real and compelling, and the book was well-written. The world-building has holes you can drive a wagon through but somehow I liked the main character enough to enjoy the story regardless. The narrator was terrible. The ends of all the sentences went down in intonation and often had the last word totally distinct like “What do you think. Pa.” The narrator also chose a strange British accent for the characters, which there was no reason for as far as I could tell. At least for the most part the book felt like it took place somewhere hot and dry; I had assumed a more Western feel.

great adventure story

I really enjoyed this book. little bit adventure, little bit magic little bit love story.

Pretty Good

I enjoyed this book. It was an easy listen, nicky paced. No major twists and turns. But still enough action and peril to make it interesting. The narrator was decent enough. I wish her male voices were a bit better. otherwise, no complaints.
