Audiobook 🎙️: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ugh my heart! ❤️ This is my favorite Crescent City book yet! No stalling, no sub-plots fighting for attention each chapter... It was fast, mind-blowing, and so fun! So much pay off in this book it makes the crawl from Sky and Breath worth it. Future readers: do not rush through this book! Savor it and let it soak in. It's worth it!

What an incredible series by Sarah who really took the bread and butter of her writing and said, "let's push this further." Takes a brave writer to try something different and go even bigger than before. I personally feel she succeeded. I hope she does do one more book to close out this world.

Also shout out to the narrator who has to juggle so many characters and accents in this book for 800 pages. She makes it sound so easy but I'm sure it's taxing. Tbh I think she's a better narrator than the ACOTAR ones (just slightly).
