I was so close to DNFing this. I listened to the audiobook and I think I’m done with the series. It’s like two different people wrote the perspectives. I struggle to remember whose voices are whose because the two narrators use such different accents so it doesn’t feel cohesive. (And I LOVE Justine Eyre, she’s the reason I picked the series up!) So much mansplaining, so, so much. The pacing felt very off. Every time I thought I was at the climax of the book, I’d look at the time left and it’d say 3 hours, 2 hours, and 1 hour. Seriously, the last hour could have been shortened down to 15 minutes.
