I am dying to know what happens next I haven’t been so immersed into a story since Harry Potter. The narrator is sooooo good! I am absolutely obsessed with Skandar and Scoundrel. This is the best escapism I have had in a long long time I’m so sad I have already finished the audiobook! I may listen to them all again. I love love love love this story the twists and turn not to mention the betrayals.
