This is probably the best audiobook experience I've ever had. Christian Leatherman's acting is absolutely top-notch and truly brought the story to life. Each character had such personality and sounded distinct from each other, so much so that I could tell who was speaking without the dialogue tags. If the voice he uses for narration is his standard speaking voice, which I'd assume it is, then the voice he uses when the main character speaks shows that each voice is carefully chosen to match the characters. All of them feel perfect and his range in performance is breathtaking. The emotions in the story hit all the harder from his performance and I'm genuinely thinking about buying more audiobooks he's narrated just to hear his other works! The story itself is surprisingly complex. What I expected to be a simple little romance quickly turned into a plot full of mystery and political intrigue. This is the first fae romance novel I've read, so perhaps this is just normal for the genre, but I was thoroughly impressed with the world-building and evolution of the plot. Its complexity never left me confused, and I feel that the little threads of intrigue that are brought in at the beginning of the novel get woven into the plot throughout, making the gradual escalation of stakes and mysteries feel natural and exciting. I expected a cute little fluffy story and instead was brought on an adventure through a plethora of emotions, and I'm impressed by the number of times I had to pause and just stare at the screen with my mouth agape or yell into my pillow. This story was such a fun time and I can't wait to read the next books 🙂
