This is actually my second time through this series, I read the physical editions awhile ago. However, I’ve really been enjoying graphic audio’s full cast audiobooks, and this one did not disappoint! The cast and crew did a wonderful job bringing the story to life and I’m excited to get into part two. It’s also fun to hear the story again since I know what happens and I can look at the plot through a different lens.

I won’t write a super long review for this since it was a reread, but I do still want to put down some thoughts.
I originally read ACOTAR before I joined Goodreads, and this reread was done by listening to the full cast audiobook. I may reread the series in regular book form one day - at which point I’ll write a more detailed review - but for now the audiobook was a fun time.
This first book really does hit different when you know what happens in the end, but nevertheless it was still really enjoyable. Listening to this with a full cast was a really cool experience. The narration, sound effects, and music were very well done.
My only complaint is that this book felt a little fast - like the plot moved along just a bit too quickly - but I think that may be because this adaptation is slightly abridged (the originally audiobook is around 26 hours long, and this one is only about 12). Still, all the major points of the story are hit, and I didn’t really feel like I was missing anything.
I may not recommend this audio version for a first read, but it’s definitely great for a reread.
