This was a hard review to write.
Having been a fan of Carian Cole's work in the past, I was excited to dive into this audiobook. Unfortunately, my experience with this particular title was something of a mixed bag, leaving me torn between my admiration for the author's talents and my frustration with the execution of the story.
This was a very emotional book, with lots of feels, good and bad, there is romance and spice.
The book was very slow for me at the start, which led me to seek out reviews, hoping for insight from other listeners. To my relief, many noted that the story improved considerably as it progressed, prompting me to take a leap of faith and skip ahead at the 30% mark, skipped a few chapters.
Cole is a master at weaving intricate emotional connections between her characters, creating moments that resonate deeply with listeners. However, for me, the book felt overly long, with excessive detail that detracted from the overall experience. I appreciate a well-developed narrative, but there were times I wished for a more concise approach.
While I cannot deny Carian Cole's incredible writing skills and her ability to build emotional depth, this particular audiobook just didn’t resonate with me as I had hoped. It might just be a matter of personal preference, but for those who enjoy lengthy, detailed narratives, this could be a fulfilling listen.
The narration list 2, but it is all Jillian Macie, with a guest appearance of Aidan Snow. Maybe I would have connected with a different style of narration.
