Didn’t have to set this one to doubled listening speed! Enough exposition to satisfactorily build & engage you in the world of the tale but not so laborious that you disassociate & fall asleep. Worth a re-read.

There is some mlm sexual content but it’s not done in a way that is overly graphic or titillating because neither is the point of the scenes it occurs in.

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”

my first audiobook and it was such a beautiful experience. i felt everything on a deeper level while listening, and it made everything hurt a ton more.

i went into this book expecting the most devastating ending

and it was

but i was pleasantly surprised to read how everything came together at the end. truly beautiful.
