" This book didn't have the flare of magic and intrigue that I needed to really get into it. I found myself putting it down and picking it back up a dozen times. It didn't keep my attention. It felt like it should be fun, and then it wasn't. Listened to the first 3 hours of the book at least 4 times, never made it past 50%. "
