Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear by Seanan McGuire
3.25
*I received an audio review copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear gives us Nadya’s backstory and like many of the entries in this series it tackles some hard topics. Nadya is a Russian orphan who has a missing limb and gets adopted by a Christian couple in the United States, and I think McGuire does a great job of discussing adoption and disability with nuance and care. I enjoyed this book while I read it, but I don’t think it’s one that will stick with me. Maybe that’s because I found it too short but I also don’t think we need more pages to get Nadya’s backstory because we’ve met her before.
Overall, I think this was a solid entry in the series and I think it’s a good example of what the series is doing so I do recommend it if you’ve enjoyed in the past, or it could be a good starting point as the series order isn’t necessarily linear.
I tend to read the series via audiobook, and noticed that this narrator (Barrie Kreinik) is new to the series, but I have heard her narration in the past and I found her to be quite competent here.
