Can I enjoy a single POV, 21 hour long audiobook about two people trapped alone together for 7 years?

Not really, I fear 😅

Even if Queen Ruby writes it. And I really love Ruby Dixon’s brand of fantasy romance: it’s campy, smutty, and romance plot-tacular.

But this one gets added to the pile of Ruby Dixon books originally released as serialized chapters that I didn’t enjoy as a full-length (emphasis on length) novel because:
▪️ it was longggg
▪️ I dreaded the chapter breaks. It kept summarizing (and re-summarizing) what had happened so far (as if I’d forgotten in two seconds) and I was kinda losing my mind
▪️ the plot became increasingly disjointed
▪️ it was too freaking long for the romance plot to have this little drama
▪️ it was almost impressively repetitive in its description of the setting, characters, and plot stuff. I was begging it to please PLEASE pick a new way to explain things. At least some synonyms, I was dying
▪️ did I mention it was long?

And maybe I just don’t enjoy knotting as much as the next person? The book was definitely leaning into the knot and I was getting nothing 😆

Oh well, can’t win them all. I still love this author. By my last count, I’ve given 36 (!) of her books 5 stars so she’s still an all-time fav.
