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

Graphic: Violence, Blood, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Drug use and Physical abuse
Minor: Animal cruelty
There is a lot of gore in this book, but not any non-consensual sexual stuff as far as I remember
