The narrators of this were spot on for the characters, and they were both engaging and easy to listen to. They suited the characters they were playing, and neither made any major changes when giving voices to other characters - it's certainly less 'acted' than the others in the series, and as a result works so much better. The male performance has also vastly increased my liking of Julian as a character - he may now be my favourite leading man of the series!
They also brought the story to life very well. I was able to more readily engage with the storyline and get more out out of it than I was from my initial read (although I admit that might be down to the fact I had read all of the books in very quick succession, whereas the audios force you to slow your pace). I am pretty confident that this audio will allow me to enjoy the physical book more the next time I pick it up, which I don't necessarily think is the case with the others in the series.
I also like the fact that this one has the extended epilogue included - the rest don't (but fortunately I have the ebook versions of them).
Out of all four books I've listened to from the series, this is the audio I'd buy without hesitation. Definitely deserves an increased rating from the first read!
