Review for the Graphic Audio version only.

I didn't care for the main narrator. The sound effects were more enjoyable compared to other Graphic Audio productions I've listened to, but sometimes they were over the top and distracting.

I know a lot of people love this book due to the number of fan favourite characters that are introduced, but I don't think I enjoyed this more than I did ACOTAR. I found that there are more characters that I liked in this book but something about it misses the mark with me.
In saying that this series is still enjoyable and I liked listening to it as I worked but much like the first book I wasn't thinking about this series at all when I wasn't actively listening to it.
