I knew with Billie Piper that the narration would be good and of course it was flawless, however I’d been unsure whether I’d get into the story and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely an interesting read with plenty of twists and great character development and arcs

Took a while for any flow with the story, at first seemed to jump without any apparent cohesion, but came good and was worth persisting

Similar to first, Aboriginal culture is Not ‘primitive’

Overall I enjoyed, albeit not as much as first but still comparable and pronunciation was better than first book, however as someone who was privileged to grow up spending time with an Indigenous Aboriginal Elder including Dreaming Camps on country, despite being 1st generation Australian, I was offended that the oldest living continuous culture that in many ways is far more advanced than much of the new ‘modern’ culture was referred to as ‘primitive’, we could improve our safety and health and embracing of diversity by allowing that older knowledge to guide our young modern societies.

Music between chapters really disrupted the flow, though the narrator swallowing didn’t. Story a couple of questionable scientifically at times but was good. Get rid of the music effects though ggrrr

As much as much of the story was predictable and part of me was frustrated the characters were slow to catch up, the interplay of the continuing characters and bits of history were still enjoyable.

Thankfully I could laugh at how bad the down under accent attempts were, but could be off putting. The story was great though

As a trauma survivor and advocate I was initially put off by the start of the book but persisted and found it great,

Ok, I guessed a couple of the outcomes, but I enjoyed the journey and was laughing along the way, dark and/or clever humour has always been my preference hence I rarely bother with comedy. Loved it!!!
