About this listen

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, take a shower, go to school, go to work, come home, and pass out.

It's a perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. That's all she thinks they are—nightmares—until one night, they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away... but surely she can continue just sticking to the routine, right? It'll be fine. It has to be.

A mix of urban and traditional fantasy, Bioshifter is a story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's a story about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergence, and a whole lot of trauma. Strap in and enjoy!

This one is a great story, but the next one goes from a fantasy to a book about how to talk to people and their pronouns, and how to address someone going from a boy to a girl are a girl to a boy mentally

Don’t buy if you are going to read the next one

This is a tricky one for me, I love all of Maher's other books on audible with a passion.

But, I find it hard to stick with the story of this book, mostly due to the main character I think.

Like Maher's earlier work, the MC is a little different, has some complexity and is relatably flawed, but the MC here is not very likeable.

Part of that 'unlikeability' stems from the believable flaws the MC has: anxiety, self-doubt, the uncertainty of being a teenager. But the MC is also selfish, does not take any consequence into account and has very little resolve or 'self-agency' (arguably also part of being a teenager).
My point is that the MC does not have enough redeeming qualities, making this an interesting story about an interesting world, with someone in it I don't much care for.

But the story in this book is also a whole lot slower than Maher's previous books, a lot of time is spent in 'internal' monologue, this 'monologue' is also used to explain or to allow exposition for some very mundane things, such as school systems or how a fast food kitchen works. This detracts from what little agency the MC already shows. Stuff just happens to the MC, she does very little, except panic, complain, repeat.

An additional factor might be that the narrator (Pfeifer) has a lot less energy than the narrator from previous books (Almasy), which might fit more with the personality of MC in this book, but also compounds the slower pace of the narrative of this story.

It seriously seems to me that by channeling the 'inner teenager' too much, this story ended up being unpopular.

Like the story, but not the MC

Hannah (mc) is boring and blames most of her problems on her family and community, I get she's a teenager going through some major stuff but I find her problems bland but I enjoyed the idea of the transformation and the two body's

Mc is boring but a good story

I had a good feeling about this a girl turning into a monster but the hole story is kinda a bit meh from start to finish not sure if getting the next one I'd have to be pretty bored kinda Interest to see what she is tuning into

ok

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I bought this book and the reviews I read about it were quite a mixed bag.
but oh boy I'm glad I did.

At some point I realised I just couldn't put it down and finished the entire thing in like two days.

I love the way you really get to know Hannah through her entire thought process behind her actions and feelings. And that made me really care about: what happens next? how is she going to handle this?

so much so that I had to take it to royalroad where I more or less consumed the next 25 chapters in a two days binge reading.

It may not be a book everyone will enjoy but I sure did, so much that I would recommend it to anyone who is even mildly interested.

i fucking loved this story
