Great Story and Narrator

The author, Annie O'Connell, does a really good job of character development. The characters are well-rounded and well-written. I also loved the story, which is a must-read for fans of magical realism. Plus, the audiobook narrator, who was spot-on, made it easy for me to enjoy this story in one day.

Great story

I really enjoyed this story. It was full of great characters and an awesome dog. Jace becomes an orphan at 3 after his parents are killed. His aunt & uncle, Cora and Roman take him in and raise him as their own son. Uncle Romans job causes them to move constantly. It's hard for Jace to make friends. Their most recent move has him hoping to stay. He makes friends with Marcus, Izzie and Buddy so Jace has hope. Then he learns not all is as it seems and his life is turned upside down. Once I started it I didn't want to put it down.

Overall it is ok.

Really slow moving over at least the first 10 chapters. Did not have a clue what the story was about until mid way through.

There isn't really a middle to the story. it starts and finishes.

So good.

I really enjoyed this book. I cannot wait for more. The characters were so good.

wolves and witches

The Lunar Codex is well written and interesting. The story kept me listening and entertained even though it is more for a teen to young adult vibe. Would definitely recommend to my nieces and nephews.
