I love this book and this series. I think that maybe this book and book 2 could’ve been split into 3-4 books to make it more digestible, but I think using the audiobook is a good alternative if the length is intimidating
I wish she would’ve explained more about the prison & what happened to the other prisoners after it “died”. I love the sense of mystery behind it but were there no other prisoners in there? Did I just miss it when listening to the audiobook? I also would’ve loved to learn more about the school & the guild but I suppose that would’ve made it too long.
 

Overall fantastic. As far as the audiobook goes, sometimes the woman narrator was almost reading too much into the emotion that it could be jarring, and the man was a little breathy, but I still thoroughly enjoyed their interpretations of the characters!
