If given the chance I’d read this book again without the narrator. The drol tone feels snobbish and middle-aged compared to how Valroy is characterized in the book. Abigail is given opportunity to grow as our “hero” but her character building is undermined by her lack of agency and I’m left thinking she’s another dumb damsel at the mercy of forces more powerful than she has the potential to be – unfortunate seeing as it’s foreshadowed her powers have potential in the fae world. The SPICE though is where I’ve given the book more stars than it deserves. There’s a lot of hot moments and the build is killing me. I’m almost finished and I’ll read the next in the series to get my finale. I’d recommend reading it over listening.
