Acts of Violet by Margarita Montimore
4.0
Oona Out of Order is an all time favorite for me so I was so excited to see another release from this author! The audio version of this book was fantastic- I love a narration with a full cast and this story, primarily told through different perspectives on a podcast. was truly a perfect combo.
This story was unique and entertaining though I did mind myself losing a bit of steam during the last quarter of the novel...I think part of this may have been that the whole book had so much anticipation to the question, "What happened to Violet?" so I really hyped up all the "what ifs" as it built up to the ending.
I really enjoyed the complicated family dynamics, mysterious disappearance, and the unique character of a female magician! I did wish I could have heard Violet's perspective as well, but I understand why it was told this way because of the creative format.
The magical realism in this book worked for me and that some things were left up to interpretation, which also means this would make for a great summer book club discussion!
This was definitely a great choice for an audiobook and I am excited to see what creative story author Margarita Montimore dreams up next!
