When you see that the author narrates the audiobook, that could go one of two ways - amazing or ... not so amazing. This was AMAZING.
I have listened to many audiobooks (over 250 in the past two years). I listen to audiobooks anywhere from 1.5-2.5x speed. When you listen at higher speeds, you are more likely to catch odd accents or character voices. This audiobook is easily in the top 25% I've listened to. Accents were natural, and character voices and tones were excellent. It didn't feel like the narrator/author was stretching or forcing it at any point. I want to continue on with the series, but now that I have had such a wonderful experience with this audiobook, I think I will have to wait for the rest to be released in audio form!
Audio quality aside, this was an absolute delight of a book to listen to. I listened to the whole thing in a day while doing a deep clean on my home. It kept my spirits light and laughing, which can be difficult when you are on your hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom floor. The romance conflicts were natural and logical, the side characters were fantastic and didn't outshine the FMC and MMC, and the setting was immaculate. I cannot wait to continue with the series!
