Rather gore filled

More blood and gore than I would usually keep reading but the story was gripping and the narration very good. I have just downloaded the next volume.

The best

Utterly delightful trilogy by a master story teller. Someone told me it was Harry Potter with proper LGBT representation but it’s so much more. It’s immersive, enthralling and utterly addictive.

The narrator is ridiculously good. Easily the best narrator I have ever heard and my audible library stands at 450 books.

Awesome!

-contains spoilers-

An amazing book filled with LOADS of adventure and steamy romance scenes and not so much real romance? I love the character and relationship building that goes on! I hate how Tric dies though I don’t feel that his character was worth such a small death! Also Cassian is meant to be the greatest darken and greatest swordsman but he dies in a heartbeat and Mia finds a way out? Also Jesamon dosent ever get revenge properly which I feel is a missed opportunity? However I LOVED this book and will continue reading the trilogy as I have become quite invested in the characters! Oh and a warning if you read this DO NOT read any spoilers or look up the characters as it RUINS some of the plot twists!

A hungry story that eats its reader

It took some time for me to get used to the narrator, but this book is brilliant and the narrator actually suits the story. I loved this book, great for a mature audience

A Fun, intense listen. Worth the credit for sure.

Mia is a character that you are going to learn to love. She is thrust into the life of darkness surrounded by the light and has to make some really big choices.
The world building is well layered, with interesting history adding depth to the story and adding context to the situations.
The characters are complex, complicated and constantly growing with the story.
There are some aspects which don't pull together quite as neatly as i would like but all in all a great, fun read.

Oh, the narrator is pretty good too, making me laugh out loud at one point and nearly jump out of my skin in another!

Grim dark with character voice

Character voice is amazing in this book, and it really is the driving force that makes me recommend it. The narrator, is funny.

People call this book edgy, but I whole heartedly disagree. Maybe it is because the over saturation of the term, but this book isn't edgy by any stretch of imagination if we go by the literal meaning of the word. So, don't be off put by it.

It does feel info dump heavy, however. If you aren't alright with those, you might feel the first few chapters grueling.

The voice of the book is amazing, but male characters voices is where it falls apart; males do sound samey, but it is not a biggy. Female voices shine.

finally a good "edgy" story

this is the kind of book that terrible edgy novels are trying to be. fantastic and brutal.

A bloody, good time.

This is a fun fantasy book. the narrator is visceral and often darkly funny. the characters are very likeable (or hateable when it comes to the villlains) and the world is imaginative and fun. Kristof goes into many gory details and while it could be excessive in another book, it fits perfectly with the story being told. The performance is also great. it's full of energy and definitely captures the tone of the book well.
