Review ★s are skewed down because there are no half stars and I want to differentiate between enjoyed, really liked, and loved.

★★★★★ - I loved and probably didn't shut up about it for at least a week ★★★★✫ - I really enjoyed it. ★★★✫✫ - I liked it. ★★✫✫✫ - This book was not for me, but I finished it without much difficulty. ★✫✫✫✫ - I actively put the book down and stopped reading it.

Tj Klune: In the Lives of Puppets (2023, St. Martin's Press) 4 stars

I had a lot of trouble getting into this book, and ended up skipping from about 30% through to the epilogue.

I just... didn't like any of the characters. I know in the other TJ Klune books I've read, the main character grows over time, so maybe these would have gotten better if I could give it more time. They did overall seem better by the end, but not enough for me to go back and reread the middle.
