The best way that I can describe this book is to say that it's like a roller coaster that's just started to make that climb up to the top of the hill, and then as it crests the top and you think you're going to go screaming down the other side, it ends. That may sound like a complaint, but it's not!
These characters take some time to warm up to, their history full of so many twists and turns that it'll take you most of the story to truly nail down what you think of them. I won't lie, some parts are incredibly hard to get through, but once you do all you can think about is where the next book might take you.
Both narrators for this book did a phenomenal job. The amount of emotion that it takes to bring a book like this to life is high, and they nailed it from beginning to end. I could listen to either one of them talk all day, so that certainly helped, but they put on a spectacular performance for this one.
