I really enjoyed this deep dive into the history of Uber and flew through it!

Started off slow but then really ramped up. The extended podcast of my dreams!

Engrossing read about a fascinatingly flawed founder.

Disclaimer: Fantasy isn’t usually my go-to genre, so I came into this one a bit outside my comfort zone. I think fans of the genre will likely connect with it more than I did.

I had a hard time fully engaging with the story and getting immersed in the characters and plot. The religious motifs didn’t really resonate with me, and the climax felt a bit rushed—the major conflict was wrapped up so quickly after a long build-up. That said, I can appreciate the ambitious worldbuilding and the themes the author was trying to explore. It just ultimately wasn’t a match for me.

I absolutely ADORED Project Hail Mary, so it is a complete shock at how much I disliked Artemis. The main character was insufferable and cringe, while the plot felt compressed and drawn out at the same time. I feel bad writing such a critical review, but Project Hail Mary set such a high bar!

Oh also, Rosario Dawson as the audiobook narrator COMPLETELY took me out. What a miss.
