Caroled:
📖 Story comment: entertaining, familiar characters, easy pace
The story brings the ‘holiday spirit’ to Grimes & Tenrael – Happy Hanukah –
Given the heaviness of this series, it was nice to have a volume with a lighter feel. At a stretch I’d call it “cute” – if that word can be used in relation to the Bureau universe!
Camouflaged:
📖 Story comment: interesting plot, likeable characters, good pace.
I really liked the way Kim Fielding broke my preconceptions on the type of being Anton is … what can I say, blame it on Disney and the lawn ornaments 😂. Although not as dark and gritty as some of the other Bureau stories, I still enjoyed its worldbuilding and the mystery of the case.
🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie does a stellar performance capturing the “noir feel” of this series. His ability to capture each character’s personality brings Kim Fielding’s world vividly to life and I look forward to further instalments.
