Story: It seriously bothered me in the beginning how Lissa was treated. Well only mostly with the hair incident. I was glad that once she was off that planet, most people were just trying to be there for her, make things up to her and make her happy. I was glad that so many people were still around. I'm also glad that she's able to do what she wants in this book without people hovering all the time.

However, I wasn't really happy that Gavin was. Honestly, he was always a jerk in this series. The only reason she agreed to be engaged to him was that he was the lesser of evils. It annoyed me that they kept acting like it was a real marriage. He admitted in the book before that he loved her because other men want her and she’s so beautiful. They literally have nothing in common and he can’t even say what he likes or loves about her. I don't understand what Lissa sees in him either other than he's handsome. He has tried to control everything in her life and tried to change her as a person. He's domineering and never wants her to handle anything. And now that he's forgotten her in this book, Gavin is even more of an asshole and wanted to kill her. I can't stand weak characters. After she remembers him again, she just takes him back regardless of them not being right for one another before. So frustrating!!!

Narration: Traci Odom. She's alright but she's sometimes pitchy with some of the men like Wlodek & Merrill. She also doesn't put the right emotional tone into some of the characters.
