I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators were phenomenal—this is a full-cast narration, and it’s perfectly cast.
At first, I was hesitant because I found God of Fury to be just meh. However, I was suffering from a major case of FOMO, so I decided to give this one a shot—and I’m glad I did.
The story is engaging right from the beginning. It completely held my attention for the first 75%—I was up until 2 a.m., and I started it again as soon as I woke up. The last 25% dragged a bit and felt predictable, unlike the earlier part of the book. Honestly, it could’ve been scrapped without losing much.
Gareth, the law student, was absolutely fascinating. His character is deeply complex, and as the story progresses, his layers and inner conflicts become even more pronounced. I loved the push and pull he had with Kayden.
Kayden, the professor, is more of a mystery. At first, his character felt a bit lackluster, but around the 60% mark, he starts to come into his own and becomes much more intriguing.
Gareth struggles more with his sexuality than Kayden, but the MM dynamic is something new for both of them.
There are a fair number of spicy scenes, and Kent did an excellent job writing them. They’re detailed, intense, and seriously hot. This is one of the rare books where I’d rate the spice a full 5 out of 5.
With the full cast narration and the emotional intensity of the story, I highly recommend experiencing this one in audio. It truly enhances the entire experience.
