Last instalment does not disappoint (bar the narrator change)

This book’s theme of self-acceptance makes for a perfect ending with many compassionate messages about feeling trapped by family’s and status expectations, equality and inclusivity as well as peace and diplomacy vs greedy power.

However, it took me a while to get accustomed to the new narrator whose diction and accent I found grating at times and not fully understandable but that’s also because I’m not American, so I’m not accustomed to this style of speech. I felt that the previous narrators though fit better the characters and that’s the biggest issue with changing narrator, our imagination associates them with a specific voice and the adjustment is displeasing at first, to the point that I restarted several times before fully listening, as I was annoyed by it, but after a couple hours, I’d forgotten about it.

In any case: please avoid changing narrators in a series!

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and define it thus:

Chocolate heart review
