A delight. A darker story than one might expect, which was a wonderful surprise. The tactfully implied abuse and trauma also bring a maturity to the tale. Genuinely a slow burn romantic tale.
One of my favorite narrators, so this was a great audiobook to engage in.

Took me a while to get acquainted with the narrator's voice, but I ended up greatly admiring how well she differentiates each character. The story is fast-paced and well written. Definitely worth a listen!

Enjoyable, albeit weaker installment in the series.

Highlights:
The charming, humorous aunts in the cottage. The return of Drake and Briar (their stories are my favorites), and the forgiveness that occurs upon the familial reunion.
The creative way Peters used Sleeping Beauty as the backdrop of this tale.

Weaker points:
It could have been tighter. Repetition was apparent. Peters does use "ache" and "dared" so frequently it is predictable writing. Unlike the main male characters in previous books, I felt the reader has less opportunity to connect or understand this one (Archer). Moreover, if you like the banter between lovers in previous books, there is none of that here. Very different personalities.

Overall, still a worthwhile listen if you're into this series. Looking forward to the next.

Seren grows. So hold on, if you are not drawn to her personality.

A story of transformation and healthy compromise. Ronan and Seren do have great dialogue, though Seren can seem intolerable and purposefully difficult in the early stages. Ronan was a delight. Similarly to the previous book, the limited locations provide a tighter storyline with fewer characters.

Probably one of the simpler stories by Peters in this series. Fewer characters to follow. I actually liked that narrow format.
Beauty and the Beast retelling. I truly enjoyed Briar from Reflection, and even he and Drake's continued tension from the previous book was improved. Briar is a gentleman (when he is not influenced by the curse), and I admired his love for both his people and his romantic interest. He is chivalrous. We need more chivalry in stories these days.

The narrator never fails to keep one engaged. This story is face paced, and the slow burn romance makes it more realistic. I really enjoyed the unique pieces of fairy tales woven into this fantasy. Both main characters grow quite a lot throughout, which I always appreciate. There is ample grace and forgiveness for others, too. Please get this book if you like this series. It is worth it!

I enjoyed Pathways, so I was excited about this addition to the series. I greatly appreciated having characters from the first book reenter this one.
Anwen is certainly a girl I would love young ladies to admire. She is self-less, empathetic, kind, and wise. Someone we all can emulate. The narrator is stupendous, as always. As for the story, most of it kept me engaged. I do like Liam and Anwen together, as they bring out the best in one another.

My issues arise from how unrealistic it seemed that people would not recognize Anwen more readily as an "imposter". As for the writing, there are very frequently used phrases such as "I ached" when describing how Anwen feels. It was repetitive after a while and predictable. Not enough to make me lose interest in the story, however. I would definitely recommend a listen.

Sweet, cozy tale. Redemptive, too. Human error and grief woven into a story of unfolding young love. Clean romance. I never read YA. This was a treat. An escape. I would register. Highly recommend. Suitable for teens, too, which is rare for fantasy romance of late. The narrator is exceptional. Her soothing voice makes this a comforting background accompaniment to walks and drives.

Passion. Intrigue. Complex, flawed, and redeemed characters. Saturated with history and family/relational drama. This was an excellent series of books overall, but Circle of Spies wins out. Definitely will relisten at some point. As always, Zimmerman's narration is stellar.
