Except when she's a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is a shapeshifter in a kingdom where Verities rule. It's a secret that could cost her a head--or a tail.

Tried a little too hard to be funny

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Audio for the synthesized audioARC of this in exchange for my honest review.

This continued with the same humor as the previous books, which could be counted on to be a lovely change of pace between more series books, I especially liked Ari's "visions". However, I felt like this one went a little overboard, it was so long and there were a million and one "but [item] hadn't been invented yet" (to give an example, though this may not be in the finished product, a character is described as being on auto-pilot, although auto-pilot, pilots, and autos had not been invented yet) it might've been funnier if they were just sprinkled throughout but they felt so numerous in this one.

The synthesized audio voice was really rough, and while I understand the finished product will be narrated by humans with emotion and pacing, I found it really hard to listen to the robot voice, with it's odd tone, delivery and cadence, and that may have taken away from my enjoyment level as well, and I might give this another try once it is released in it's finished format.
