Thank you to Netgalley and M.A. Brown for the alc.

I already loved this as an arc, and couldn't resist applying for the alc. The narrator did a great job. Since I'd already read it once, it was easy for me to understand the beginning the 2nd time.

The story was just as intriguing the 2nd time. It had a lyrical quality that pulled me in, and I found myself wanting to keep going just for the prose alone.

Despite my mixed feelings, I’m genuinely excited for the sequel and can’t wait to see where the story goes next.

I wouldn’t say this was bad, but I didn’t enjoy it either. The story felt like it dragged for a long time w/ little to no progression?
I felt like we were just lingering forever.

And the romance? Idk what it was giving, but it wasn’t giving chemistry. It wasn’t giving swoon.
I felt like it was just an implant fr.
Like they fr just had it there as a prop lol.
And every other character was just so come & go. I wasn’t able to connect w/ anyone.

Now, the audio? The production was cinematic. The effects, the characterization, & emotions. I would say this was a solid audiobook if it weren’t for the story which fell short for me.
Jacci Prior obviously did amazing!!
One of my favorite narrators, which is why I wanted to love this so bad…
This just needs more editing tbh. I feel like something is there, but not fully yet!!
