Emma - Star Crossed Reviews Extraordinary reader

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews If you saw my reviews of The Shadow and Bone Series you know that I wanted to read this book for a little while but I also wanted to read the books in chronological order. I'd seen this book a lot on Instagram but the main reason I picked it is because the audiobook has a full cast. I recently enjoyed Illuminae which had a full cast so went looking for more audiobooks like this.

I found the first few chapters of this story quite confusing and I think I was a good 40% in before it all clicked. There are multiple POV in this book which is always something I enjoy but it did make this more confusing, to begin with. It takes quite a while to get to know each of the characters and learn their backstory but its definitely worthwhile.

My favourite characters were Inej and Nina. Both have harrowing backstories and are still so brave. I loved seeing these two develop throughout the story.

The pace is quite slow, to begin with, but really speeds up about halfway through. There were a few twists and turns along with a few heart-stopping moments.

This was an epic story that I can see myself listening to again and still enjoying it just as much.
