My Thoughts:
Audio:
I enjoyed listening to Morena. In my personal opinion, she had a great voice for the characters and the book.
Book:
It took me at least a couple months to finish this book. It took me a bit to get into it. I couldn't stand Emma in the beginning. I had to put it down a few times. Finally picked it up this last time and was able to somewhat zip through it. I knew I would struggle through this book as I do with all her books but I didn't expect to struggle as much as I did.
You may ask: Why do I keep reading her books if there is a struggle?
Well, my answer is: I love the characters, I do love majority of the stories, she just tends to drag the stories out (long winded). I think majority of her books could be about 100 pages shorter. I have to listen to the audio books when 'reading' them because otherwise, I would not finish them. I'd lose interest. Again, I continue because I love the characters and well, I just want to know what's happening! Reading her books is like seeing a car wreck, you want to look away but at the same time, you want to know what's going on. lol...
As the book got closer to the end (the last 100-200 pages or so), it got good and things started happening, questions answered, you know, the normal C. Clare style and many other authors. lol...
That ending though! *Blinks*
I'm not too surprised about some things but at the same time, there are some things that happened I wasn't quite expecting. Well, now, I am looking forward to the next book, maybe not right away, but looking forward to it none-the-less.
(Originally started reading this book on May 15, 2018 but I just kept having to put it down because it wasn't keeping my interest)
