I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story took more than 13 hours to tell. The narration was not very swift but was done well. This is a story that had many plot twists and lots of scenes. I liked the story although at times I had to put it down and go do something else. Magic, trolls, strange stones, evil stepfathers, betrayal, and love are woven throughout the story.,I enjoyed the ending. There were several parts that could have been left out because they did not go well with the story but they were few and far between so I guess they did not take away from the story. It took me three sittings to finish the story as it got boring at times.Not to say that the overall story was boring, there was just a lot going on. I still want to know what happened to some of the characters. So I hope there is another book that will tell us about them.
