I enjoyed the puzzles, they were fun to go through, but they didn’t really hit as hard as the other books.
Not too much of a fan of the pov switch.
At the beginning I was really more interested in Jameson’s story, but towards the end I was more interested in Grayson’s and seeing him bond with Gigi. I felt like Grayson’s arc was more satisfying.
Jameson and Avery’s relationship was cool to check up on. I was always a fan of Jameson getting with Avery, but I wasn’t too much of a fan of reading their relationship from Jameson’s pov, it didn’t feel too romantic - especially contrasting it with Grayson who seemingly speaks more emotionally about Avery in his pov than Jameson. Kinda strange.
It was fun to see all these charas again tho! Excited for the next book, the premise of that seems fun.

I know this is probably the publisher's fault, not the authors, but I hated that it was two different stories going on at once and switching back and forth. This book really should have been two separate books! The constantly switching POVs took me out of the story. I would have preferred it as book 1 and book 2, one with Jameson's story and one with Grayson's. Plus, they didn't even have different narrators for each brother!
I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the others. I don't know if that's because this is the first one I listened to on audio, or if it's because of the problem of it being too long and the POV switching all the time.
Overall it was okay to good, but nowhere near great. It was also a bit predictable.
Narrator Rating: 3 stars
The narrator was good at doing different voices. But not great at changing tone for mood shifts. And didn't use much emotion in the reading.
