Unraveller Audiobook by Frances Hardinge
Thank you to Macmillan UK Audio and Netgalley for the audio book of Unraveller for an honest review.
In Kellen and Nettle's world anyone can create a life destroying curse but only one person has the power to unravel them. Not everyone is happy about this and suddenly the two are in a race against time to save themselves and others who have been touched by magic.
An original and creative YA fantasy from Frances Hardinge involving magic, curses and creatures of myth. I loved the idea of the story however the audio book felt overly long which made me loose interest. I think there was just too much crammed into the story. Too many cases of Kellan and Nettle going to different towns meeting new characters learning their stories and unravelling their curses.
As we met so many characters through these many sub-stories I found myself forgetting who was who a bit. Therefore I felt some of this could have been cut down in the story.
That aside the narration on the audio book was very good and Hardinge's writing as usual was eloquent and captivating.
The story itself was a very creative and original idea and well worth a read or listen. I did enjoy it however I just felt there was a few too many characters and sub-stories added into this title which led to confusion and disinterest as it felt a tad repetitive. Which is why I have rated the title 3 stars.
Thanks for Reading!
