A review by shewriteswithknives
Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera

2.0

I was so incredibly excited for this book as it has been on my highly anticipated list since I saw its announcement. The blurb sounded fantastic.
I received an audio ARC on Netgalley. The narrator is fantastic. Her voice flows, her change of characters is exceptional- it is the story itself that I cannot connect with and felt incredibly bored despite how soothing our narrator was.

This story feels like it is trying to be something profound while falling short. Reading or listening to this felt like being in a fever dream. I read a lot of prose and lush writing styles but this one felt all over the place while simultaneously being flat.

After investing four hours of an almost 9 hour audiobook...this is unfortunately a DNF for me.
