I listen to audiobooks because I do a lot of driving.  I typically prefer to read than listen but occasionally there is a book that has the right narrator and a pace that pulls the reader along. 

More often than not, the audiobook narrator does not capture the character in tone or accent.  Or the pace doesn't suit a narrator and has to be sped up.  

In this book I feel the written page would be a loss.  The music and singing is integral to the plot.  The story is a aural fairy tale and should be spoken and sung.  

The story itself is like an old English tale and the same fae world what Emily Wilde is trying to capture (those books are also better suited to audio).  I think of mummers and maypoles and willow trees and languid rivers.  An idyllic English countryside as opposed to a Greek pastoral or a Germanic forest.  I love these stories and this feels authentic with songs and music. 

I wavered on a 5⭐ rating but for me personally the story was missing some warmth and the beginning didn't quite pull me in right away.   I might feel differently later if the story lingers but it feels too small and too light to have a huge impact.
