So I would give this a different rating, depending on if this is your first time experiencing ACOTAR vs if you are listening to the graphic audio after having read this traditionally or listening to the unabridged audiobook

As an initial exposure, it cuts out too much of the character development and world building, but some people feel the first half of the original book really drags to the point that it loses some people where they don't continue. And miss out on the rest of this amazing series, which this definitely doesn't. So I would give it a 2.75 or 3 if you've never read this in another form.

For those of us who have already read ACOTAR and I are using this as a refresher or just to experience it differently, i think the faster speed made it a much more enjoyable re-read, so I'd give it a 4.

This is only my second time experiencing ACOTAR and it was nice to be reminded of why

I liked nesta before she got on my nerves before I liked her again, of how Lucien was my love interest in this book, and felt like seeing an old friend reading about the Suriel.
