Something about knowing this was tied to Huckleberry Finn made this much less interesting.It's well written, but the plotline was desigend for Huck, not Jim. Trying to squeeze something out of that side of the story leaves it lacking. Again, good writing, and Jame's internal monologue and perception of the world is very powerful. But the lasting impact was very low given high expectations going in.

It's a fun fantasy-ish alternate universe version of Groundhog Day. Has a twisting plot line that never gets to far afield and that encourages introspection. Good stuff all around.

Fun story that moves at a good pace but gets a little out over it's skis at the end.

This book was long! It felt like the author painted themselves in a corner and then decided to take the circuitous route out. It's a unique world, kinda standard fantasy/magic story, lots of unexpected complications. Good book, but it's a lot. Planning on reading the next one in a year or so.

A unique and well written revenge-ish story of a very unique life. Dealing with crushing sadness and how life is lived when you feel you have nothing to lose. Though the book is more heist-y than sad.

Don't ask questions or think to hard about things, just enjoy the ride. It's a fun and unique "magic is real" story with a good (and needed) twist about halfway through.

Solid summer reading book. An interesting twist on a cold case story. Told from the perspective of someone who's case is being investigated by a true crime podcaster. I'm not into podcasts, so if those chapters were overly done, I have no idea.

At the heart of this, there's a a potential indiana jones sci-fi caper kinda thing going on. It's lost in a lot of generic space travel mega war mumbo jumbo. Would have been better to keep things smaller and focused on the main characters. I almost put it down halfway, but it juuuust changed enough in the second half.

It's topical for sure - still works in 2024, maybe even moreso than in 2015 when it came out. Good main characters, twisty plotline, never gets too bogged down in the details. The art is spectacular, character design really helps the story, and nice layouts that its "widescreen" format enables. Also a bonus point of sorts because it's not a series - I like a single book adventure.
