Über diesen Titel

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!

I probably should rate this book 5 stars, because it's really great! But 5 stars is perfection and I'll save that for volume 2.

Hannah is a very relatable main character. And I don't get the ugly ratings who say "she's annoying", "she's too gay" "leave interesting relationships out of fantasy books". I'm so here for a neurodivergent, interesting character. She's just 17 years old and you can't tell me you didn't look at boobs a lot at that age. Hannah is reliable, she loves her routine and cleaning. Yes, she has issues with her feelings regarding herself or her relationship with her mom. But all these little bits, they give that characters so many facettes.

Hannah's friends really grew on me the longer the story goes on. The author really put so much work into making them special.

Usually you get about 11 hours of audiobook. With this on you get double for the same price. More entertainment! (Someone should sell audiobook to the goddess).

I'm all about world building and would have been bothered if the magic system did not make sense. But it does! And I really appreciate that there are no stats and levels like in other isekai.

So yeah if you are a part of the queer community and maybe a nerd who loved Pokémon and anime, this book is for you. It's not cozy and it cracked my heart more than once and organs are described rather colorful, but I would not want it any other way. I like my fantasy storys big.

So maybe check your trigger warning and then fasten your seatbelt and visit the World Tree!

Great queer fantasy work!

I love Natalie Maher and her stories. Have all of them on ebooks, and half on audiobooks. I love Bioshifter. It's a great series.

Unfortunately, the narrator in this case is grating and really hard to listen to. Her narrating is mostly monotone, hard to follow when any important transitions happen, and I find myself tuning her out subconsciously while listening to the book because of how both boring and unpleasant her narration is.

Buy the book, avoid the audiobook.

Good story, bad narrator

Dieses Hörbuch ist klasse! Ich habe mich jedes Mal wieder drauf gefreut die Geschichte fortzuführen! Extrem lebendig, schwarzer Humor, Wortwitz und clever!

Seit langem ein Hörbuch welches richtig gut ist!

I can't quite put my finger down as to why I am so fascinated by Bioshifter. On one hand, I can easily compare it to Kafka - metamorphosis, while on the other, its very much a Thundamoo story. The writing is stellar, the voice acting could not have been better and the story...
Full disclosure, I think I'm somewhat in the age range of the author's target audience, so to no surprise, I can very much get behind the initial setting of the main character. Young, Covid is about, the "future for the rest of your live" is right around the corner, nothing that needs to be done right now is done right now and more. It's kind of like the MC used Twitter too much before the book starts to be sensitive to the woes of the world. The world itself feels hostile from the POV of the main character.

Throw this character into a situation no sane person would be able to handle and you got Bioshifter.
I will say, that Bioshifter is not for everyone. Especially those who have long since given up on keeping track of what's been going on in the world, but I can not stress enough how much of a ride you're in for with this one. Its written in a very human way that catches the emotions really well. The voice acting fits really well since no only the differentiation between characters is clear, but also the emotions, directions and dynamics are very well voiced.

If it wasn't for too many people being too far gone, I'd say that this is a book for a lot of people. That being said, this is very much a bit too graphic and a bit too... lets say, close to real life for some that I can only recommend it to those who have the mental capacity to stomach an epic tale that may or may not have a happy ending. Personally, I had to stop reading the final chapters and am only now going to catch up again after I finish my re-listening of the first two books. Which is to say, I enjoy it, but its heavy. It hits much closer to home than expected.

And in case Thundamoo reads this one: I very much look forward to what my favourite author is cooking up next. Tho I will wait for a while since your books are the number 1 reason I don't get much sleep when a new one comes out. 24h in a day is just too short.

Probably one of the best I will ever own.

There are a few warnings I wish I'd had going in, though not having looked for them, I suppose that's partly on me. The series explores trauma, abuse, sexual violence, suicidality, and self harm. If you don't want to read about any of those happening on screen, do not get invested in this series! It will mess you up!

Natalie Maher knows as ever how to make those of us feel seen, who rarely get to have that. Characters are ADHDers, autistic people, trans people, narcissists, and pluralities, among other things. To those of us on these spectra, the characters who are supposed to be likable are, those who aren't aren't. I've praised Natalie's character work elsewhere, and it remains one of her strong points here. The only note of criticism in that regard is her tendency to turn her main characters into unstable killing machines, which is unfortunately a trend that persists here.

In terms of worldbuilding, I'm not sure I'd call this unique, but it's certainly not the kind of thing you see every day. I think I'd like it a lot more, if it wasn't so depressing.

The plot is fine. I haven't analyzed it as a piece of craftsmanship, but other than the end, as in the last few hours of the last book, I never had the impression that it drags too much, is too predictable, or too cliche.

My biggest criticism in regards to the series is mainly that the main cast occasionally clutches the old idiot ball a bit too hard. This was particularly ergregious in the Crafted city. When trying to find out what caused the apocalypse, and how to prevent another, it didn't once, in multiple days, occur to any of the characters to just ask the most well informed people in the world by far? That was an immensely frustrating part of the story, and while it didn't ruin the whole thing for me, it came close.

Would I recommend this overall? It depends. I wish I hadn't listened to it. Being hit in the trauma over, and over will do that. If you can stomach the things I warned about though? It's probably worth it.

Spoiler review for the whole series: Good, but incredibly depressing

Gut trotzdem schwierig und meine persönliche Kretick

Kritik ist immer von persönlicher ansicht und Meinung geprägt und die sind bei jedem Menschen Anderst also nimm Kretick nicht zu persönlich sondern pick doer raus wenn etwas davon auch deiner Meinung das Buch betrifft

Punkt 1:
Deine Magie in beiden großen Serien nimmt zu sehr den Menschen ihren Willen !
Sie werden von Anfang an von allem so hard beeinflusst ohne irgendwas dagegen tun zu können!

Punkt 2:
Die Lotterie der Talente ist echt heftig unfehr!
WiSo das meiste der menschlichen Entwicklung hat mit der Erziehung und im richtigen Moment dem Kind die richtige Förderung zu Teil zu geben zu tun so unterscheiden sich meistens dumme von intelligenten Menschen Genetik hat natürlich auch noch seinen Anteil aber Möglichkeiten haben dadurch die meisten gleich!
Aber das du ihnen Talente giebst denen jeder Mensch der Magie komplett von Geburt aus ausgeliefert ist und du hast dieses Talent dann bist du böse ist heutig unver für jede Spezies keinen freien Willen usw.
Punkt: 3
Binn der Meinung das jeder Autor am Ende in seinen Welten leben wird also viel Spaß:

Punkt 4:
Echt echt zu viel transgender bitte noch mehr Erklärung als Vorwarnung in audible Themen sind heftig und schwierig!

Gut trotzdem schwierig und meine persönliche Kretick

It can be mostly Agreed upon (Except for a selected few) that an repeatedly insistent Focus on a Characters Sexual Preferences "Political Commentary" at a level where the core of the Fiction is consistently sidelined, is a Detriment to the actual Story.

No matter WHAT the focus of the Sexual Preferences "Political Commentary" is!

And also Constantly coming to the most Idiotic Decisions...

The MC got so Annoying, I couldn't bear to listen a second longer.
And i liked the underlying Concept!

The Author clearly wants to Talk about a different Subject all together. And i recommend to Start a new in a different Genre. My Recommendation something like "slice of life".
Then write about how a young girl that goes through puberty and with the Changes to Her body and mind struggles to find a spot in the world for her self.
And thanks to that and the increasing pressure of responsibility and Her new feelings of "being" she feels like a monster in an alien world.

Much more fitting and Relatable.


We Get it! The MC is GAY or Something!

I understand that the protagonist has some kind of mental condition, but after hours of story in wich nearly every decision she makes is detrimental to her I just checked out. I just don't find it interesting when the protagonist of a story repeatedly makes the worst decisions for her situation even knowing it is a bad decision, it takes out any suspense since I already know that the characters in the story will make the decisions the story wants them to make to create more drama instead of what actually would make sense.
At the beginning of the story I was able to live with it, since the character has to be able to grow, but after a while I realised she was just getting worse instead of growing.
What also really annoyed me was that these strange instinctual urges she had in the "real" world weren't able to help her in the other world to get over the killing and fighting, if you give her those urges that are a problem in one world then at least let her have them in the other where they can be an asset.

And then we come to politics, the whole discussion around queer acceptance makes absolutely no sense in this story, it feels like some kind of tokenism just there to appeal to a certain crowd. The fact that she struggles with acceptance because she's a lesbian and a monster doesn't compliment each other in this story at all, it dilutes the message since one of those doesn't give you instictual urges to kill or harm others.


I feel as if we have 2 books that were clumsily melded together.

One book would contain the story about a young women with a serious mental condition that is struggeling through everyday life and trying to build a worthwhile life for herself, while also fighting her inner demons. No fantasy needed and it wouldn't dilute the struggles real ppl are facing eatch day.

The other book would be a tale about a quirky girl who travels to another world when she sleeps. She realises she's slowly turning into a monster in her original world and is trying to hide that fact with the help of her best friend, while experiencing a fantastic life in the other world every time she goes to sleep. This story would be much more interesting if the protagonist could make logical decisions instead of being held back by her own mental breakdowns. Or if this needs to be a horror story, then she should start out as a mentally stable person and slowly go insane.

The whole thing about her sexual orientation could be worked into either story.

The protagonist is just too annoying
