I love Carissa Broadbent’s Crowns of Nyaxia series (on audio), so I decided to listen to this book after hearing some rave reviews. I’ll be honest, I’ve started and restarted the audiobook multiple times because I just couldn’t seem to follow it and then finally got to a point where I could focus and I was able to continue. I think the confusing thing for me was that the FMC had an accent during dialogue but not the narration from her perspective and so I thought there were more characters at first. I didn’t like the scratchy voice for the male characters, either. I thought Max was much older for some reason. I think the writing style combined with the narration combined with the fact that audio isn’t my first choice for complex reads for my brain made it a bit difficult to get through for me. Overall, I enjoyed the story and would recommend it, but I think I might need to reread via print to really immerse myself in this world to continue the series and I just don’t have time to do that right now.
