I’m… really not sure if I liked this book very much. I think part of the reason is that I had heard the names Jude and Cardan before so, I was half expecting them to get together before the end of the book and when they didn’t I was a little confused. This was also my first time listening to an audiobook of this genre which was a little weird for me. I think the narrator did a good job, I just didn’t think the voices she gave to certain characters really fit what I would have given them if I had just read the book like I normally do. I think I’m going to give the rest of the series a try, but in my preferred format, and see how I feel.
