Hoping part 2 improves upon the faults of this first half. The only reason I didn't DNF it was because I wanted to know what was going on with literally every other character BUT Nesta.

If you're sensitive to self-destructive behavior, addiction, and sexual violence, I strongly advise against this book. They are main themes throughout this book.avidreaderandgeekgirl's review against another edition

It's harder to equalvate a book based on only half of it. But so far it's good! It's nice and spicy and not just a surface-level romance.
Of course, the real action of the book is just starting as this first half ends, this one is more focused on Nesta and Cassian and less on moving the overall story forward, though there was some of that.
Narrator Rating: 4.75 stars
This is the first dramatization I've read, and it doesn't disappoint! I could use a bit less panting/moaning in the sex scenes. But otherwise, it's great!

I do love how SJM explores her character in this book, but the first half is definitely slow going.
For the graphic Audio I think it would have been better if it had a female AND male narrator, but I suppose as the first 4 we’re in first person we had been spoilt 😅
