My expectations were blown out of the water by this story. I was captivated from the start and was so pleasantly surprised by how great the storytelling and writing was. The narrator was fantastic, the twist was PERFECT and I was so sad when I got to the end. I wanted to stay in this world longer, but also couldn’t stop myself from listening every chance I got to figure out what would happen next.

I loved the story, and the narration was pretty good, but one thing about it bothered me. The narrator assigned to the character “Ira” pronounced her full name (Iraya) 2 different ways. She sometimes said “ih-ray-uh,” and sometimes “ih-rye-uh.” She switched back and forth throughout the book, so it’s not like she learned part way through that she was pronouncing it wrong. And I tried to pay attention to which characters pronounced it which way, but it didn’t seem there was any correlation there either. Even Ira herself pronounced it differently. I couldn’t figure it out, and it bothered me the whole time.

Because of their thick accents, it was sometimes hard to understand the patois words and slang phrases, but this didn’t bother me much. It did impact my understanding of certain dialogue exchanges, but nothing major. It didn’t take away from my understanding of the story itself, and I appreciated the accents because it made the story feel more authentic. It’s just a warning to future listeners! Maybe have the physical copy of the book in front of you if you like to know all the small details and have a good understanding of little things like that.

Overall, I loved the book and the narration was great!
