everyone keeps raving and giving 5 star reviews. I found this book boring, long winded and simple. the narration was ok but story was lacking.

not sure what the fuss is about.

I ended up reading the physical copy with several attempts at the audio wanting to continue the story while I drove but I couldn’t stand the voice actor

Audio performance killed the experience for me

Has definitely been sped up post-production which distorted the cadence of Raeve’s voice and Parker’s descriptive prose. If you listen to Audiobooks faster than 1.0, then it may not bother you, but having also read the book I wanted to enjoy the world building and characterisation.

The wait for book two is gonna be long, because this is a book that stays with you. Strong FMC, multiple POVs, dual timelines, incredible and beautiful world building, dragons, fae, gods. Just give it a go.

Slow it down to 0.9

Look forward to next instalment. Just wish we could say he licked her clitoris. i mean Sarah was pretty explicit about how far down Raeves throat Kaans "member" or whatever euphorism she was forced to use, went. Pity about the censoring of pleasure. I think that was distracting. Other language use and ingenuity is top shelf. It is a great read.

great fantasy page turner

I enjoyed the world building but I felt the story jumped from different perspectives too much and I had no idea what was going on most of the time. I perceived as I thought things would get better but the story dragged not really going anywhere. The voice acting was great.

Great world building but that’s all
