Breathy narrator

I'm gonna have to reserve real judgment on this until I hear the 2nd book.

The narrator is actually quite good (genuinely), you just have to listen to her for a few minutes to get over the very deep breaths she takes directly into the microphone.

Another comment said something about this being a slow burn, which apparently must pick up in book 2 as the "romance" has yet to go anywhere.

This really is more of a "set the scene" book for the series, which isn't a terrible thing I suppose as it is rather short, so again I'll reserve judgment until the next book!

The female narrator is perfectly fine (nothing astonishing but she's good) the male narrator is so monotone while reading the story bits they might as well have used a text to speech reader!! He's marginally better reading dialogue, his portrayal of Magpie and a few others actually quite good, but everything else is painful. He changes how names are pronounced in the same sentence and constantly mispronounces Woman as Women (among a few other really bad missteps)

I'm not sure what was going on in the direction or how they missed some of his worse blunders but I seriously hope they get someone new for the next book.

Speaking of which the story was wonderful!! I honestly enjoyed it better than the first two books (which were good don't get me wrong) I'm highly looking forward to the next!! (even with the bad acting I was hooked, and I suppose even if he's back I'll weather it!)

Not much different from my review of the first book! A nice story and decent voice work! Can't wait for the next one!

I can't believe all the reviews that are giving low stars because it was a "cliffhanger"

It's no more a cliffhanger than any other book series has ever had in the past! It ends with things left to do to continue the series but it has an ending. No one is left literally dangling, it's very obvious there's too much story left to tell! Where would the other reviewers have liked the story to end??

Anyways I highly enjoyed the story! The narrators were alright, the female did a fair job (not the best ever but honestly not bad!) While I found the male voice a little wooden and monotonous, he wasn't terrible especially while actually voicing the individual characters.

All and all enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one!

This story stands just fine as a one off but I think she definitely had a sequel in mind! I've loved this story for years and while it's definitely not her greatest work ever it's a fun listen/read!!

The narrator does a great job as well!

The story holds up all these years later!

While I never heard the original narrator this one does a good job! A little breathy but I think that's just poor direction more than anything else as the voice acting is perfect! Can't wait to start the next one!

I mean who doesn't love a little predictability in their romance! Also I'm happy to report that Steina Nelson does a much better job of this book than she did of the most recent Court of Thorn and roses book! that one must have had a bad director because she actually is a fairly decent narrator!! can't wait to get started on the next book!

The narrator of the previous book was amazing, this one leaves a lot to be desired. While she does a fantastic job in some places, for the most part she's just way too overdramatic and sultry the entire time.

As for the story? Amazing as always! I've been waiting for these two's story and Maas did not disappoint! I'm honestly happy with the shift in vocabulary and uh...tameness lol. I often had thought to myself "let Cassian say f*** dangit" so I'm glad the censorship was finally dropped! Definitely not for young readers but just as good as all the rest!

I already have the next one downloaded and waiting! The narration was wonderfully done and the story was as good as all the rest! Lighter and sweeter but still a pinch of worry without too much stress. Can't wait to hear Cassian and Nesta's story!

I adore Amanda as a reader!! Everyone here is bitter about it for some reason but I often forgot a) that I was listening to one person and b) that I was listening at all! So drawn into the story and emotions of it all was I by her reading!

The book itself, while stressful, is wonderful! Just like the previous book it shows exactly what PTSD is like for different people (to everyone complaining, I'd like to see you go through what they all did and come out fine and logical on the other side!) and how each person gets through traumatic events, while giving a fantastic story over it all! Can't praise it enough and can't wait to start the next one!
