DNF @ chapter 15 — Yeah, perhaps it was a mistake to listen to this one *right* after finishing Obsidian. I think it would be better to read it when you’ve read more in the series and then you want extra. Because diving in right away, I felt like there was barely anything new added to the story, and I was hoping for some insight into Daemon…particularly because I wasn’t a fan of his. I was hoping this would help me understand him. But no, he’s just a douche.
Also, I strongly disliked this narrator. There were pauses in his narration that didn’t coincide with the story (like in the middle of dialogue). And I was NOT a fan of the voice he used for female characters, but particularly Katy. Just a personal taste thing, but it was a huge turn off for me.
I kept trying to stick it out, but then I wondered why I was doing that. So I just stopped after Katy learned everything. I figured I didn’t have the patience to wait for whatever I was going to learn from Daemon. Perhaps if it hadn’t felt so close to Obsidian, or was shorter, it would have worked better for me. Definitely more for rabid fans IMO.
