A Ruse of Shadows by Sherry Thomas
2.0
Rating : 2 ⭐
This book might be more enjoyable for people who binge this series, and unfortunately I'm not one of them. The plot is becoming increasingly convoluted with each book, and there isn't much resolution to be found here. The story jumped all over the timeline of events, which made everything even harder to follow. Solving the mystery didn't feel satisfying after getting through all of that. Usually, the audiobook narration still allows me to feel immersed in the story, but in this case it wasn't enough to make this book more enjoyable for me. I hope the next book can start wrapping up a lot of these loose plot points.

The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks

Rating : 3 ⭐
This book borrowed some of its scarier elements from "Annihilation" and "Snowpiercer", and it's no surprise they were my favourite parts of this book. The description of the Wastelands were really atmospheric. The historical context and the character development could have been handled better.
