Unabridged Audiobook
I must admit that the first hour and half of this was hard for me to get into, lots of world building with confusing names and an intricate magic system to learn. I almost decided to stop listening and switch to something else for a bit but man am I so happy I kept with it. About 2 hours in and I was HOOKED. The world building pays off big time and eventually everything you learn makes sense as the story progresses. The stakes, the politics, the character development- all fantastic and beautifully written. And the tension between the leads is incredible. I cannot wait for the next book.
