I enjoyed this, especially the last few chapters. I ended up just sitting around listening to this for like an hour just so I could finish it. I thought I had it all figured out pretty early, but was pleasantly surprised I was only partially right. If not for a bit of a slow start (it didn't seem to grab me right away), I might have given it a 4.5.

I still probably enjoy her Six of Crows series better too. This is a blend of fantasy, mystery and I guess horror. There are certainly some horrific things here. I think I prefer the heist type story, but I do like this better than her Shadow & Bone series.

The narrators are both fine, but nothing special. They read in their own voices which works well enough for their respective POVs. There is nothing particularly special about the audio book, but at this point it's my preferred format, and is a solid choice.
