This time, and for a change of pace, the villain if a woman. I don't know, this probably is not right, but I'm not mad about the things she has done. Girl power, you know? Girls defend girls! Of course you can dissolve your family members in acid... who doesn't? Yes, she is completely crazy, but I like her.
Anyway, good story, good plot, well written characters with good, solid, backgrounds and the ending that these characters deserved. Nicely done!

Thus far, this book has had the best narrators of the series. Both voices finally match the characters perfectly, and their inflections and changes in tone to give voice to other characters are all strong enough to stand out, but not so over the top that they ruin the mood. I'd STILL like to see them voice the lines of their character in their opposing chapters; I just think it makes sense! But the performances were good enough in this one that I wasn't as bothered.
The audio does make the story feel slower in pace than the physical read, and overall it does seem like there is less action (but there is plenty of 'action' 😉) in this one, so there are moments where it is easy to zone out. But then, that's good when you're using the books to relax! And it's definitely an easy listen.
I guess I'm not as drawn to this one as the 'good boy/bad girl' dynamic isn't my favourite (I prefer the other way around). But still, the characterisation is good and I like the way it doesn't feel too stereotypical or trope-y, while still playing off of those things.
One more to go (Crossed isn't on the freebie list, sadly...)!
