I read the prequel, but this one I listened to on audio and I’m so glad I did! The narrator is phenomenal and they include sound effects.

I really loved this series so much. The narrator does such a fabulous job bringing all the characters to life. I highly recommend reading the audiobook version over the print version or maybe reading and listening to both at the same time because in my opinion this is the best way to experience this fabulous book!
