This book was sooo good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the graphic audio. While this urban fantasy technically info-dumps at the beginning, it is written in such a way that you can breeze through the first 200 pages without paying too close attention and you can still get the gist of what is happening, with those info-dump ideas looping back. You are dropped into the world, which means if you get caught up on the info you might have a hard time getting into it. I love how Maas writes flawed characters that you still root for. And I cried multiple times in the last 30% of this book, so it was a huge winner for me. I can’t wait to start the next book!

I DNF’d the first time because my heart just wasn’t in it, but I’m really glad I came back to it! The narrator really made getting into this book SO MUCH EASIER, and it took me until about chapter 13/14 to become truly invested. I liked the buddy cop vibes and something about Hunt the fallen edgelord does it for me. At first I found Bryce kind of insufferable with a bit of a holier than thou complex but I think that her interactions with syrinx and Lehabah really humanized her and made her a bit more well rounded in the personality department. Just like any SJM book, the last 25% of the book was just a WILD time. Can’t wait to read the next two!

The world-building and relationships in Crescent City are some of the most complex and immersive I’ve read recently. Everything feels truly three-dimensional, from the politics to the character development to the magic. This book is LONG and pretty dense (particularly in the first ~150 pages) but the amount of detail is what gives you such a beautifully crafted world.

I really enjoyed the immersive experience of the full cast audio production! It definitely added some extra flair to the writing. I've read some of Maas' work before (ACOTAR series) and while I was definitely kepy engaged and entertained, I didn't adore the quality of the writing. The intrigue of the mystery kept me locked in, and I loved the slow burn romance. I will probably not race to read the next ones, but I will totally listen to the sequels as GraphicAudio releases their audiobook versions

lol just read other reviews & have to come back and add: I also really struggled with the first bit of the book being a drag, but it picked up after a bit. It's okay to kinda zone out for the worldbuilding in my opinion - I never really processed a lot of the political factions & I didn't have any trouble following the main plot

There is a lot of gore in this book, but not any non-consensual sexual stuff as far as I remember
