I listened to this book in 3 days, I loved the way the story builds and the slow burn romance. The dragons were more than just side creatures, and full interesting characters.
This book made me excited to get back into fantasy this year.

Now on to the audiobook portion of the review:
I love the cast, for the most part. Xaden and Violet sound great, as do many of their friends. The only two characters I had a problem with were Mira and Tarin. Mira sounded robotic at times, there was only one spot where she sounded like an actual human and not Alexa. As for Tarin, I just imagined his voice being deeper. It would have been nice if Kaori and Tarin's voice actors were switched. I got used to Tarin though so it didn't bother me too much.
The sound effects are awesome. I could have lived without the sound of vomit, even thinking about it now makes me want to gag. I really liked it when the dragons chuffed, hearing the dragons exhale was fun for some reason. I don't know, I love dragons and this made it feel like they were real. I find that these added sound effects make it easier for me to pay attention to an audiobook. Normally I'll just space out and not know what happened but the sound effects tickle my brain in the right way.
Story: 5/5
Audiobook: 4.75/5
