Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#13 in series
Will I read other installments? Probably Not Maybe Likely Most LIkely Definitely I've been reading this series since 2014, but I got bored with the books and decided to try the audio versions. This book was still hard to get through. I'm committed to the series, so I will continue, but I'm not sure how soon I'll listen to the next one.
Comparison to others in series: Better About the same Not as good Good, but it could have been better I really liked reading the first few installments of this series, but the last two have been too long and dull. If I had been reading this verses listening to the audiobook, I would be reading for six months.
The narrator was Jenny Sterlin. I liked her narration. It made the book tolerable.
