Review for the Graphic Audio version only.
This is my favorite production so far. The sound effects are a lot more realistic. No awkward, childish kissy noises etc.

I finally got around to reading this book. It was not something I was going to do as I was never a fan of Nesta, and even during this book she frustrated me to no end at times. It was one of the reasons why I never picked up her book when it was announced. I can say, after reading this I can appreciate the character growth and new characters that we got in this book. There was still moments that really frustrated me because it just didn't make sense and the logic felt gone, but being a book focusing on emotions logic tends to fall away.
After finishing this read I am surprised that this has been my favourite book of the series. The rest of the series scored high but I fluctuate with my ratings. At the moment when I'm reading they are high but when I think back to them they are a solid 3 stars. It is a case of they entertain me at the time but they don't hold up once you finish. This book did not have that problem. I don't know if it is because this feels more character driven than the previous book or that there feels like there is actual consequences to actions and that Nesta doesn't feel perfect (probably all of it), but even after finishing I think this book is still good.

This is a continuation of the ACOTAR series but focused on Nesta and Cassian.
It's harder to equalvate a book based on only half of it. But so far it's good! It's nice and spicy and not just a surface-level romance.
Of course, the real action of the book is just starting as this first half ends, this one is more focused on Nesta and Cassian and less on moving the overall story forward, though there was some of that.
Narrator Rating: 4.75 stars
This is the first dramatization I've read, and it doesn't disappoint! I could use a bit less panting/moaning in the sex scenes. But otherwise, it's great!
