Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advanced copy of the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a blast – following Phoebe and her unexpected sidekick, Maeven, on their action-packed journey was a joy. The world-building was vivid without being overwhelming, and each character played key roles in the plot. The narrator nailed it, giving each character a unique accent that added to the overall experience. The story had me hooked with its constant challenges, but I had to take a breather now and then to process and gear up for what's next. The pacing was non-stop, and I wished there was more inflection in the narrators cadence of those chill moments. I don't usually read in the middle-grade genre, but this one felt like a refreshing re-entry into this genre for me.

4/5 for the story
4/5 for the narration.
