I really enjoyed the prequel novellas and the bonus story was really sweet focusing on the next steps for the couples from the second two novella β€˜Guy and Elena’ and β€˜Banan and Jane’.

I listened to this compilation on Audible and although [a:Antony Ferguson|4421655|Antony Ferguson|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] does a good Scottish accent for the Dark Kings, but there wasn’t a great deal of versatility in his voice types between characters and his female voices were impossible to distinguish and his American accents a bit ropey. At time’s the narration felt a bit under-performed and phoned in.

All in all a a great value read and a good introduction to what looks like it will be a great series, audio recording isn’t bad, but could be much better to do the stories justice.
