I struggled to follow this as I could not get into some of the narrators voices (mainly Tristan, but Reina's voice for the plants was awful too 🤣)

The ending definitely was not what I was expecting. 

I think I would have enjoyed this more had I read the book as opposed to listening to it!

Absolutely loved this series. I think the middle book was definitely the strongest in terms of plot and adventure. The final book started slow but it certainly picked up speed towards the end. A beautiful, thrilling, mysterious story and all the questions tried up nicely at the end.
