Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an audiobook ARC of this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook! The dual authors, narrators, and main character POVs really emphasised the divide between the land and the sky. Because of all these factors, it was so easy to empathise with both Nimh and North's points of view. The narrators did such a good job of encapsulating both main characters' personalities.

The story itself was a perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. It felt very futuristic but with many of the features of a classical fantasy story. I found the imagery very reminiscent of Horizon Zero Dawn with the post-apocalyptic setting with a magical(?) twist.

The cliffhanger ending has me hooked, and I'm excited to read the next book in the series!

I so, so wished I liked this more :( the cover is gorgeous and the plot/world was interesting but moved waaaay too slowly. I also listened to this on audiobook and the male narrator was not great!! He had a very grating voice and his volume fluctuated a lot so it was really hard to hear him at a consistent volume. Also, I stopped reading this at 97% because I got busy and literally could not care less about finishing the last few pages. A swing and a miss.

2.5 rounded up.
