If I hadn't been listening to this one, I would've stopped reading it. But I was sewing and didn't have the mental capacity to decide on something else to listen to. This was pretty rough though.
The narration was okay, but there were random times when it was like someone said "cue dramatic music" and so they did. The music was super random and distracting.
The book itself was repetitive (how many times did I hear that they were Aurora's companions, that she's fae blooded and that she isn't allowed to fall in love each chapter?) And most of the characterization is told, not shown (many times of being told how happy Miriam is that she now has friends, but rare acts that show her friends are any good. Mostly they run around blabbing her secrets.)
It felt like there were too many storylines but not much happening until the end, when it wrapped up in the last 15%. If it's a series, I'm definitely not interested in finishing.
