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.muff1n_reads's review against another edition

Kai is still annoying, I don't understand him or his decisions.
While I am a but of a sucker fo the more awful abusive relationship garbage, especially possessive wolf boys, I have less patience for it now, especially books directe at teens. Itβs bad. If a boy is like Wolf, get him into therapy, don't become his "Alpha female" π
Scarlet was pretty annoying with the "omg I wanna kiss you π π "
I loved Thorn. Cinder was mostly better, and I missed Aiko.
As eye rolly as it is, I would have adored this in high school. And it is fun.
Can't wait to get through the books I wanted to read years ago π
Oh also, gay wolf's apparently don't exist in this world.
