I will be honest, I was anxious about starting this beast of a novel, I haven't read any of Samantha's previous novels so I wasn't familiar with her writing style, and I was worried that it wouldnt live up to the hype, but my god this was 👌. 
I did listen to the audiobook as well as reading the hardback and while I liked the narrator there were a couple of character voices that I wasn't keen on and they momentarily took me out of the story, but the action had me sucked back in instantly.
