Moms for Liberty and conservative busybodies, that’s who! /s

I just finished the audiobook, which is read marvelously, but was extremely disappointed.

The first third is excellent because it is based in character and the relationship between Charlie and Mr. Bodich. But once we go to the fantasy world, imo it becomes plot, plot, plot. I didn’t feel that the events really meant anything or led to future events for any reason deeper than “this happens next”.

! He spends ages in a dungeon. Flight-killer wants 32 whole people. For a ritual? Nope! Just for a death match tournament. Radar is de-aged on the sundial with no drawbacks. We are told that Charlie seeing the dead mermaid “changes everything”, but it doesn’t. !<

Those are just a few examples of why I found the book so frustrating after the first third. Glad you enjoyed it though!
