Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Unearthed in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the world-building in this one. The magical characters were fascinating.

The problem i had with it is that i could not connect with the main character, Olivia. She seemed very shallow and immature.

What's the deal with the slut-shaming?

It's possible that it could be an original story thing and the in the next book I'll like her more, though.

I really hope so because the action scenes and the world-building are really well done.

Pure and raw emotions about grief and loss (0 more)

Bundle of pain and sadness

Finished this little bundle of sadness and pain today. If you have recently lost someone, whether it be through death or otherwise, please give this book a read. Coming from an author of older age, I was not expecting it to be this raw and emotional, and yet here I am- sitting in a daze rethinking my entire life. Do not let the title fool you like it fooled my therapy book club group- ‘magical’ in this case is not meant to denote happiness.

Food and comedy!

A friend recommended this podcast to me and I was hooked from the first episode. Love the format but also like the fact that not all the guests are comedians or friends of the presenters. The podcast is hilarious and features 2 of the best comedians around at the moment, the guests buy straight into the format and really enjoy it when they arrive with the sole intention of winding either Ed or James up. My only issue with this podcast is that I don't have a magical restaurant with a genie waiter!!!
