Iāve finished Weyward today and relate to this review by @marjan so much. I enjoyed hearing about each characters story, particularly Kateās because I prefer modern day stuff. But I just wasnāt fussed about picking it up!I'm finishing it today! I loved it when I started it but then I kind of got bored by it somewhere around the middle. It's weird because I want to read it and know what happens but on the other hand I'm like meh idk. I enjoy all 3 story lines though
Seems to have been a popular choice though, so great nomination and Iām pleased I tried something different
Iād give it 3/5.Votes are in folksā¦

A shame itās not Ā£0.99, Iām sure when I nominated it, it showed 99p
I meant to say that Iāve got in on hold at the library too so it may be worth trying there. Hoping itāll become available before 20th May as it currently says for me, as Iām keen to get started on this one
I saw it in Asda I think. It was in with the 2 for Ā£9 section I think.
Its also available on Spotify premium as an audiobook for those that use that platform 
I'm in, I've ordered it. I just need to finish the last few chapters of Weyward first. 
Just in time for the end of the month, I finished Weyward. After struggling to get into it, I enjoyed it in the end - the last 30-40% I really got into. Overall, I did find it predictable (I feel like I knew what was going to happen in all three storylines from early on?) and also quite repetitive. A lot of the insect and nature writing was repetitive, for example. Violetās story also took a long while to get going.
Overall, 3/5 from me which is a lot higher than I thought it was going to be based on the first half

Man, that means my husband can enjoy it as the main account holder but Iāll have to actually buy it. I wish theyād scrap the account holder rubbish and just let anyone with a premium account to use it.Its also available on Spotify premium as an audiobook for those that use that platform
I finally finished Weyward. April was a rubbish reading month for me, I just couldn't focus.
I give Weyward 4
though it only really got going about 2 thirds in. I found myself getting pissed off with the men who (TW: raped 2 of the characters, and that Milburn guy who beat his wife, plus Violet's Father who didn't give a tit about her being used. I guess it made me think of all the women who get abused, trapped etc in the past, present and future. I think in all I am glad I read it because it was a bit different but I think flicking between POV took a bit of getting used to.

So I will be starting it tonight

BorrowBox came through for me and itās become available 3 weeks earlier 
Iām about 20% in and itās really gripped me. Iāll put out TWās for possible sexual assault, although a lot is covered with dark humour.
Iām listening to it so Iāll have to wait until tomorrow now to carry on but I already canāt wait.

Welcome
Can't wait to hear what you all think! I got an ARC awhile back and loved it. Solid 4 stars from me
Finished this this morning and thought it was a great read/listen. It was narrated really well and it felt really naturally spoken which helped me get straight into it.
It wasnāt what I was expecting, I thought itād be full on humour but it was a lot darker. Not a bad thing at all, it made it more interesting I think.
Iād give it 4/5 and the reason it doesnāt get the full five marks is because ā¦I didnāt picture Patrick as the character that was portrayed. I was picturing this āmiddle aged left outā husband type man, so I then struggled to see him as a horrible, sleazy manipulative man. I also kind of wished Jack/Josh hadnāt have been involved with Posey.
However I did really love the ending. I thought it was a clever parallel that both Mollyās mum and Poseyās deaths were at the hands of an obsessive man, even if they died in different ways. I also like the way Molly found out Jesse killed Posey, even though I did groan when the audio finished and I realised I wasnāt getting any more story

I started it last night and although Iām only about 15% of the way through I am loving it. I love the narration style and Iām so intrigued to see where it goes. It was definitely a ājust one more chapterā scenario on repeat last night when I was becoming more and more aware of how far past midnight it was getting but I couldnāt put it down.
