Listened to the audiobook although it was LONG (took me 12 hours on 1.5x speed!). Not my usual genre but came highly recommended, and I absolutely loved it. I was rooting for the main character, Darrow, the whole time throughout his quest. I was shocked by the ending considering his feelings towards the powerful families throughout the book, so I would be curious to continue reading the series.
