I re-read this book by listening to the audiobook narrated by Steve West. It was my first time listening to an audiobook and it was a very pleasant experience. Since the copies I own of this series are back in my home country I will continue on with this series with the audiobooks! Not only because I enjoyed it so much, but also my library only offers them on audiobook haha.

I really liked this book! It was a great read and I loved the little plot twist at the end. I'm looking forward reading the next one.
