I really want to give this a higher rating but I struggled real hard with the narrator. I think the accent is perfect for the book, but the narrator felt so stiff and choppy I had a really hard time focusing on what was happening. I also felt like the book went on a bit too long, or could’ve benefited from different sections/parts. But I loved Neishka, I think she’s a really unique character and Sarkan is just so grumpy all the time I love it.
