Easily one of my favorite reads of this year.  A little long winded at times, but still so captivating. This is one of the first books in a long time that actually shocked me

Interesting premise and a short read. I feel like it would have been easier to follow if I read it instead of listened to the audiobook

I was really looking forward to this book and was let down :( For one, the narrator for Arthur’s chapters was not the most pleasant to listen to. I also couldn’t really discern when this book was supposed to take place in history. I also wasn’t super convinced about the romance between Arthur and Gabriel. 

That being said, I LOVED Bridget and Gwendolyn. I honestly would love a whole book just on them. The narrator for Gwen’s chapters was much more captivating and I found myself wanting more Gwen chapters.
