Part Of It
I still enjoyed this series. I liked the writing, the sense of humor and the goofy solutions these characters find for their problems, and the setting. When this duology was good, it was really good. It's a tragedy to me that it floundered so much at the end when it has a lot of potential. If the author ever decides to revisit this universe, I'll be there eagerly waiting.

Sorry, What's Happening Here?
When I finished this book, despite having just finished a story attempting to be very moving and emotional, I just felt confused. While this is a creative concept, the execution falls flat and fails to deliver on all of its promises.

The Worst Hamlet Retelling Ever
This is just an horrendously bad story in every way. It's highly homophobic, it's a disrespectful adaptation, and it's just not a very compelling story. I'm upset that I didn't research this book enough before listening to it, and I'm embarrassed on Orson Scott Card's behalf that it exists.

The Non-Political Life of a Trad Wife
No matter how you pitch it, mystery/thriller books that expose the dark side of social media are never that revolutionary, and "Everyone is Lying to You" is no exception. While I was interested by the idea of looking at trad wives specifically, the author did not deliver on this idea. This ended up being an underwhelming, inexperienced, and apolitical perspective exploration.
