I listened to the audio book, which was okay but Kia's voice was off-putting to me so that influenced my experience of this book. There was some gorgeous description and writing but overall it didn't live up to the hoopla for me. I'm not sure I'd recommend it but I don't regret listening to it, really. Or maybe what I mean is I think it'd be better read so I do regret listening to it. I really liked the ending.
