Petals and Nails

A Novella

Iceland has always been known for its unique history and insanely beautiful landscapes; however, for Ingrid it has become a battlefield where she constantly fights herself. On the outside she seems relatively calm to the world, portraying a regular sane person; but in her mind she is slowly breaking down from years of silent torment, loss of loved ones, and the inability to heal herself. With the help of magic realism woven between love and mental health, Ingrid starts to find herself, and finally begin to heal - something that she has been aching for for so long.

Bleak Salvation in a Dreary Dreamworld

I really wanted to like this book. The cover is beautiful and drew me in.

Unfortunately it was a bit of a slog. I forced myself to finish it. Maybe it just wasn't for me but I couldn't find it interesting.

The narrator did an alright job but the audio quality is distracting. There's a hiss during every sentence she speaks. It really takes away from the experience. You can even hear a mouse click or two.
