I listened to the audiobook and read along with the ebook for parts of it, which I don’t do very often (I rarely have two versions of a book haha), but I did enjoy that experience! The audio is well narrated and the book well written. The story does jump around a lot (sometimes several years between scenes) but there’s nice consistency with most of the characters. I was invested in the plot the whole time too.
The story is told in third person omniscient, which is my least favorite point-of-view style. But there is some nice character development, especially with Amara and Hallow, and I enjoyed both of their journeys.
Thank you to Libro.fm, Harper Audio, and the author for my ALC!
