Book Thoughts: Skyward Inn
I also just completed the Skyward Inn audiobook, and I honestly didn't like it very much.
While the alien strangeness and occurrences in the novel were interesting, the presentation was just so weepy.
I think a lot of that is on the narrator, who made most of the characters sound like they were on the very edge of bursting into tears at all times. Perhaps they were, perhaps it was the right call, but holy hell it put a damper on the experience.
I'm no stranger to a little ennui in my scifi but this was just way too much.
By the time the ending was happening and things got explained I just wanted it to be over.
If you like your scifi with a lot of family drama and a side of mope, give it a go.
