I really enjoyed this audiobook. The world building was fun, impressive and mysterious. The main character has a complex back story and I would happy listen to the rest of the series. Thanks NetGalley for letting me listen and review.

I loved the setting! And the audio narration was fantastic
It got a little bit lost in itself and sometimes I wanted to tell Vandy to chill out a little/ a lot, He's 17 and it shows
the amount of times it says "virgin" is Hocus Pocus comical

3.5 🌟

To be honest I was drawn in by the mention of the circus life.
Very, very early on though, I'd decided to stay for the narration.
Both the character and the audiobook.
Laid back, a little bit funny, a little bit charming.
Then it hit a point, I don't know what that point was, and it went a little bit crazy.
In a good way.
Though I swear I don't ever need to hear the word virgin again.
Just a really fun listen.
There's a second book.
I'm obviously going to read that.

Beautiful cover, interesting writiing but sadly this book ended up not being for me. I loved the beginning of it but it got confusing and unsatisfying by the middle till the end of the book. I really wanted to love this one.

Vandemere by Kimberley D. Tait is a very interesting story of a 17 year old boy navigating his life as a circus rider and a powerful gifted passed down generations on his mother’s side. This book is very well written. I listened to the audiobook version of the first book in this duology and greatly enjoyed it! The narrator, Kyle Shive, is fantastic!! I look forward to reading the second book. I need to know what happens next to Vandy. Thank you to NetGalley, AudioBee Productions, and Kimberley D. Tait for providing me with an ALC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this audiobook so much. It was fenomenal!
I rated this audiobook 5 stars. Such a cool story and characters. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can.

4.5⭐️
Wow! I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! I’ve mentioned many times that I’m not a history person in my fiction.. but sometimes books come along that are set in an earlier time period and it just hits! This is one of those books.

I read another review that labeled it as an urban fantasy and I absolutely agree. I am thankful to have gotten an audio ALC for free from Netgalley and the author to enjoy which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

I enjoyed the narrator who did a great job with his narration especially with our MMC who embodies and angry teenager. The author really brings him to life and he has these special abilities in a regular world.

Circuses freak me out a bit and this was no exception but it was in such an entertaining way.
This book came out a little over a year ago and I’m so surprised it didn’t get more attention. Im not sure if the audiobook just came out and that’s why it was on NetGalley or what but I’m glad it was!

I’m going to get myself a physical copy to have on hand and o think you should too!

My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again
