4.0

It starts off slow but I’m glad I stuck with it. The world and character building took awhile but it was worth it.

The narrator did a great job with all of the characters.

I’m looking forward to book 2.

**I received an audiobook arc from netgalley and RB Media in exchange for my honest review.

3.0

It felt like an American author trying really hard to write in various British accents and Irish accents. I found it distracting and made the plot more convoluted than necessary.

The audiobook narration was okay. I think I would’ve enjoyed this more if it had been a physical/e-book vs. the audiobook. I think the narration highlighted the problems of the writing.

*Accents haven’t previously been an issue for me so it was surprising how distracting it was with this book.
