This book had potential, but it just dragged on for soooo long. The last 6 hrs I’d say is when it picked up and then it went back to slow. By the end of the book, the revelation of the prophet’s identity was just an “about dang time 🙄” reaction. I zoned out so many times listening to this bc it just took forever. Really wish there was more love triangle drama. Not really interested in continuing to read the series if it’s all this slowly paced.
