It wasn’t that long ago that I read this book and thought it was a very fitting ending for this captivating series. Getting to experience it again through Abby Craden’s narration was a real joy, even though the story isn’t easy. Kat and Jenny have gone through a lot over the course of this four book series and they more than deserve their happy ending.

I don’t have much to add to my original review, except that Abby Craden made me love this book and the entire series even more. Scenes that I wasn’t sure were necessary made a lot more sense to me in audio, for some reason. Maybe because I already knew the story, or thanks to the narrator’s excellent performance. Either way, I enjoyed In the Shadow of Victory very much and feel like the ending did the series justice.

I may not have loved each book in the same way, and I know I rated some higher than others, but as a whole, the series is a must-listen. Review maths follows different rules than regular maths and while I didn’t rate any of the individual books 5⭐️, the series, especially in audiobook, gets all the stars from me.

I received a copy from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
