Enjoyment - 3.5
The audiobook was a very easy listen.
Start - 3
Characters - 4
Atmosphere - 3
I like the settings but I wish we lingered a little more on the descriptions. I can visualize some things really well, but the pace is so fast that we don't sit in each place for very long.
Plot - 3
Again, because the pace is bang bang bang, some plot resolutions feel too easy. However, nothing is from out of left field, and considering this is more heavy on the romance aspect this might not bother some people. It is definitely a better crafted plot for a romance book that I've read in awhile.
Ending - 3
Style - 3
Overall - 3
I'd like to read more stories from this world (both the fae and human worlds). The author's note talking about their inspiration behind the city was fascinating, I wish we got more of it in the book. I also really love this book's cover and would totally steal a poster version of it from a city street late at night.
