I had the pleasure of experiencing Let the Sky Fall as an audiobook, and I must say, it was a truly captivating experience. The narrators, Kristen Leigh and Nick Podehl, did an outstanding job of bringing the story to life.

I received an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of this book from NetGalley. The Treasured One is due for release on July 9, 2024.

I have to be honest, I found it rather boring. Nothing much happened...
