I was invested in this book straight away. I think it was the super strong prologue combined with the narrator of the audiobook, Catrin Walker-Booth. I sort of instantly fell in love with her voice - there was just such a nice quality to it, and it immediately sucked me into the story! She really exhibited Edira's personality and I just couldn't stop listening to this once I started it. I knew I was meant to be doing other things, but I just couldn't bring myself to press stop!

While I suspected where the plot would go, that didn't reduce my enjoyment at all because the journey itself was so good. I don't have much of an inkling about the sequel though, so I'm very excited to go with the flow on that one, and to be surprised by where the plot takes me! I'm really looking forward to part two of the duology, and will definitely be picking up the audiobook format for it!
