Ok so absolutely 5/5 to the cast and crew of the audiobook because hot dang they did amazing!!! I was struggling to get through reading this because I wasn’t finding the writing very moving and also the book is so damn large that I couldn’t carry it around to read while walking. But this cast and crew really makes the story come to life. The voices and music/sound effects are excellent! While the plot is predictable and SJM uses the gut punch method
killing your favorite character
to garner sympathy for our FMC, I still have been enjoying this story well enough. I’m still not so sure how I feel about how the fey + high tech setting was executed. Tbh most of my rating for this story goes to the talented cast and crew for the audiobook and also the chimera who I love. Onto part two!
