This retelling was very dark and told in a time period where being not only LGBTQ+ was considered wrong, but also the color of both the main protagonists skin. Using both of those factors worked well in telling the story and the why the Jekyll/Hyde character was subject to what they were in the story.
I honestly never thought a love between this story would be as intense as it was. I was hooked from the very beginning.
The narrator did an outstanding job of encompassing the characters, and their tone and delivery was chefs kiss. I would absolutely read future works read by them, and I will absolutely be reading the next retold classic in this series.
