The narrator for the audiobook was mostly good. <Spoiler> She gave the Darkling a voice that sounded so clearly evil and untrustworthy that it was a hard sell to believe that we were supposed to not know that hes up to no good until half-way through. </Spoiler> But otherwise, I liked her performance.

The Darkling is a true villain in the way that his actions are objectively evil, and yet I really can see his own justification. I can understand why he does what he does, without feeling sympathy for him.Moderate: Sexual assault, Violence, Toxic relationship, Suicide, Slavery, Torture, Medical trauma, Kidnapping, Emotional abuse, Death, Bullying, Body horror, and Blood

my favorite character was Genya. I definitely did not think the same of her in soc. She reminded me a lot of Gloria Delgado from Modern Family; beautiful and knows it, sharp tongue and giddy/amused. Though I just read the bonus material.... I am pretty excited to find out what exactly is going on. I hope that she remains the lovable character she’s been for me so far.Moderate: Sexual assault and Suicide
