Started off good, got worse

It was a really interesting idea and well executed, but it got very confusing and detail oriented and the relationship never really went anywhere. I wish I had stopped a couple books in.

Continues to surprise you at every turn

First of all, putting all 4 books into a single audible book was fantastic because I used one credit for all 4. Thrilled!
This quartet had me absolutely on my toes the whole time. The ending left me with a cliff hanger which is why I gave a 4 star instead of 5. I hate the guessing with no definitive answer.
Overall great read, and reccomended for those looking for a new universe to delve into.

Started off great

I loved books one through three but the author really lost me by the fourth book. I just think the author kind of went off into separate story lines and ended up being kind of hard to follow. She ties everything together by the end…

Started off good but ending was disappointing

Starting, it felt promising. Interesting world building, different types of magic. But as the ending was approaching, it felt extremely rushed and felt like the author was just ready to end it. The ending was left open, but it was a bit of a sad ending to me, which to me I enjoy a sad ending. The narrator I enjoyed. Giving each characters their own voices so it’s easier to keep up with who is talking.

Great story. Disappointing narrator

Although the narrator created different voices for each character, I disagreed with the personalities those voices implied.

The voice actor for the most part kept up with the different voices

I wish the ending was happier. I wish she got her love in the end.

Disappointed

Story 4.5⭐
Romance 2.8⭐
Spice 0⭐
The story is great, there is an interesting twist, plenty of adventure and character development.
The romance is kind of sweet but... Ophelia and Thorn are married and the author acts like a simple kiss is as spicy as jalapeno peppers. It's not!
I was really disappointed.

Thorn and Ophelia relationship was developing, a little oddly, but it had it sweet moments and I enjoyed them, but when you reach the pinnacle point where you think something is going to happen, they have a moment and their it fades to black.
Its not like I was expecting a full on spicy scene but I was hoping for more then a very simple kiss like maybe a little passionate kissing or some caresses.

Really hard to follow

Started out good but really became hard to follow and the end was very disappointing.

Poor audio editing is too distracting

I am enjoying the story but struggle to continue listening because of the weird audio pacing. There are frequent weirdly long silences and the narrator's speed varies unpredictably. Generally the pacing is too slow so I tried to speed the audio up a bit to reduce the long pauses. It helps some... but because the pacing is so varied, I now have issues with parts of the audio being rushed. I want to listen. I am enjoying the story. However, even 10 hours in I'm not sure the story will win out over the bad audio.
