Thank you NetGalley and Highbridge Audio for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

This was a very poetic story. Which I didn’t realize when I started so that’s my fault because I just can’t get into poetic writing. It’s overcomplicated and makes you take your own meanings from simple things. I also felt like it felt all over the place but seeing as it was a writing style I didn’t like I couldn’t say if that was the point or not. If you like poetry go ahead but it was a hard read for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and HighBridge Audio for the Audio ARC!

The stories in Origin Stories range from humorous to poignant, whimsical to earnest, and they are definitely worth a listen. I especially enjoyed the titular 'Origin Story' and 'This Isn't the Actual Sea'. A nice collection of interesting stories.
