I do not factor audiobook narrators' performances into in my overall star rating of a book, but I would give Rebecca Soler a 4.5/5. She did better with this one than the last, with a bit more variance in her emotion, although it still drones or falls flat in parts. Her accents were quite good, actually allowing me to know who was talking when. However, I started to wonder why Scarlet has a French accent (typically, though sometimes Soler forgets to use it) but Kai, for instance, has an American one even though he lives in New Beijing.

The items I included in "Graphic" are mostly due to violence throughout the book related to themes and characters. This second book contained much more of that than the first. Items in "moderate" are either thematic in occurrence or are detailed enough to warrant more than a brief warning. I did want to explicitly inform the potential reader about my sexual violence/rape warning: it is only threateded/mentioned once in nongraphic terms. It never actually happens/happened.psliz's review against another edition
