*AUDIOBOOK*

This rating is extremely personal. As in this was *my personal experience* reading this book. I know so many people love this book, and I can see that it is well-written. I also loved Gideon and Harrow and how they played off of each other. However, I just feel like this book didn't know what it wanted to be. So much of it felt scattered, and it really dragged through the "trial" portion of the story. There were some moments where I was highly engaged and others where I just could not care less (or had very little idea what was going on). The story itself was just an okay experience for me so...unfortuantely it's a 3 1/2 star read.
