Wonderful!

I adored this series! The narrators in the last two books were fantastic, and the story was gripping from start to finish.

Always a great listen and read

The narrators also narrate the Stormlight Archive books by Brandon Sanderson. A joy to listen to them both and hear them reprise their narration roles in V E Schwab’s fantastical trilogy. A brilliant story spanning three wonderful books, a devoured all three within 3 weeks.

I look forward to the next installment due later this year.

Loved the whole series

Good story, great narrators. There are a few different narrators across the series and in the last two (I think?) they use a different narrator whenever the point of view switches character. Its quite effective.

I spoil nothing but I will say I adored everything from this series and this book closed it off. I recommend it

Who chose American actors for a book set in London

The narrators accents were not only out of place (I'm sorry, Delilah Bard, a scruffy London thief voiced by a middle aged American lady??) but they also all do a poor job of reading, sounds convincing, or doing any other character voice. I ended up borrowing the actual book because I found the readers so annoying. read the book

Good story, hard to listen to

I really struggled with 2 narrators.

The female had a very clipped style of reading that came off as pretentious, and very annoying

A little too sentimental

I felt the story list it’s way a bit in the final book. It was really overly schmaltzy and sentimental in parts and it was probably a third too long. It was also really ruined by the narrators, particularly the male narrator who can still only do one English accent - the annoying upper class one that Americans seem to believe represents all English. There were so many times when I wasn’t sure who was speaking because everyone sounded the same. And everyone sounded evil too. Like the stereotypical evil Englishman from American movies.

I also don’t get the point of alternating narrators between chapters - it’s o disconcerting to have character voices changing all the time depending on which narrator it is.

I really wouldn’t recommend these books on Audible. It was bad in book 2 but it got so much worse in book 3. They really should have stuck with the book 1 narrator.

But - back to the story - yes, overly long and a bit sentimental but otherwise not bad. Wish I had read it instead of listening to it. I’m not sure how much the narration is affecting my opinion.

More boring than the first two

The book seemed to drag on, found it a bit slow, repetitive and dark without reprieve in the first half. A lot of people didn't like the narrator from the first book, but I preferred him to the two different narrators. As an Australian, I also prefer British narrators to American in general though.

A good plot

some uncomfortable scenes to imagine if your sexually straight and the morals were a bit twisted, the author hates the idea of God.
