Loooooved this. The world building was exceptional and I loved the parallels to our modern history as well. I found the concept of the magic types fascinating and the characters were nuanced and lovely. So excited for book 2. Narration was exceptional.

Disappointing - stick to her realistic fiction.

I was hesitant about this story based on her previous work being much more romcom and I should have followed my gut. Read like fanfiction, full of every alpha omega cliche and easily solved, easily avoided drama. Lots of plot holes and I couldn’t get attached to the main character or any of her supporting crew.

Narrators were weak. In fact, I couldn’t handle the male narrator to the point that I skipped to chapter 30 after chapter 5 just to make sure I really wanted to stop listening.

Oh how I loved the world building, the characters, and the complexity of the tale! This felt like such an interesting breath of fresh air after all of these Dystopian or high fantasy read alikes to popular pieces. The layers you slowly unravel and the characters you get so attached to made for a thrilling listen. Narration was gorgeous. You won't be sorry!

I was really excited for this but the narration fell surprisingly flat for me. I adore Soo's broadway performances but her narration was dull, almost monotone a lot of the time, and her male characters were uninspiring.

The writing as well felt dull - lots of overreaction with little explanation - a character that jumped to dramatic conclusions without all of the logic she claimed to possess. I didn't finish it.
