This book, to me, is literal perfection. This is my second time through this book, having read it with my eyes the first time. Robin Miles does an absolutely phenomenal job narrating this and it really adds to the experience of the story. All three story lines grab me like a hook through the chest and are so engaging I just can't look away. I've heard other people say that this book has a lot of worldbuilding to get through, but it didn't feel that way to me either time I read it. I felt like the worldbuilding was seamlessly integrated with the plot and gave you the information you needed at exactly the right moment. The book definitely picks up speed as it goes and once you're about 2/3 of the way in, buckle up because you're not going to want to take a break until you're done. Usually when I listen to audiobooks, I feel like I am much more prone to missing details of the story, but in this rare case, I feel like I actually caught *more* details this time around because I didn't have the opportunity for my eyes to skim over anything in a rush to find out what happens next, and I was hanging on every word of the narration. The highest of recommendations, 6/5 ⭐, remains one of my favorite ever books.
