Finally gave in and am so glad I did!

SOOO many people have been telling me for far too long to try this series and I am so glad I did! Loved it! The narrating didn't bother me at all, I thought it was fine, especially because I listen at a faster speed. Highly recommend this series!

Love the book

I don’t love the narrator’s voice. She almost sounds like Siri. I don’t like it. Way to monotone.

But the book was amazing!

I didn’t really like the main character

The main character was good at first but at the end I was not that in to her

spoiler warning..






She just kept going back to Aspen when she had the prince who was so kind to her and she just couldn’t make up her mind if she liked him or not I found it to be pretty stupid and made it seem like she was leading them both on. Other than that the story was really good the other characters were betrayed pretty well

Didn’t care for it

I didn’t like how slow it felt. Too young for me. Also didn’t know it was a series. Not a fan

Well done!

Performed so that the story came alive in my head just like the book. I can’t wait to listen to book 2.

Narrator sounds borring

The narrator has a monotone voice but will change for other characters which is nice. I liked the story and will continue to the next one. This one ends in a cliffhanger.

Love the Story

I love this book and have read it over and over, so I thought I would love to hear it, but I don’t. The narrator sounds monotone and doesn’t put life in the story at all. It sounds like a robot was reading it. I would repurchase the audiobook as well as the remainder of the series if it had a different narrator.
