Having no knowledge of Carnival Row, this story was not very engaging to me. It didn't seem like a standalone book, and I found myself just waiting for it to end. The narrator was fantastic, but I didn't think the storyline held much interest.

Meh

A perfect, wonderful world building story for a fantastic TV show. It really made me appreciate Tourmaline more, and makes my heart ache for the love she felt.

Stunning!

You start of assuming you know exactly how this story is going to end and then the author completely surprises you. Especially at the beginning,, the protagonists friends bring back memories of Bridget Jones Diary. Interesting narration.

This is a great prequel to the show, beautifully narrated, compelling story. LOVED IT! I watched the Prime series and really enjoyed it. Tourmaline and Vigni’s interaction and backstory was one that instantly intrigued me on the show. I was hoping we’d get to know more and I was over the moon when I saw this book!
Forewarning: I imagine this book is 100% better if you’ve watched the show. It’s a prequel that fills in blanks more than world building. For that reason I’d recommend watching 1st. There’s a scene at the end of the book I remember watching vividly that holds so much more meaning for me now, although the depth of emotion was portrayed very well by the actress playing Tourmaline.
100% recommend for those who’ve seen the show.

Great Prequel!

Having watched only the first episode of the series, I must say I am glad I decided to wait on this audiobook before finishing the rest. It really sets up the first episode well and makes me look forward to finishing the rest.

That said, aside from the series, this is a marvelous stand alone fantasy novella and leaves you wanting more. Well written, good dialogue, and excellent first person narration. I will have to listen to a few more novels she has narrated... of which there are none, since the actress for Tourmaline, Karla Crome, did the narration, lol. Saved by the edit.

Best part, the roommate wars, always the best part of college.

Edit continued...well, this is the best novella I will read by an author who will probably only write another novella when her next project goes to film or television...hopefully that project gets picked up by Amazon as well.

Well worth paying for, so happy it is free
