More audiobook complaints. Why is one reader doing a Scottish accent for this character, when the other reader gives him an Irish accent? This production is ass.

"Our gazes lock together. His, a hot blaze against my face and my lips, sends a shudder down my spine without my permission."
Okay, so a couple quick questions. Are your lips not a part of your face? And do you often shudder... with permission?

I just.... Narratively, I don't understand why she lost her memories at all if she's able to still meet her old friends and hear about her past from them without any issues.

I was in the car for this earlier and not able to jot down exactly where, but I swear one of the audiobook readers has now said both "bared" for "barred" and "trials" for "trails." Shame on the producers for not catching that.

There are like zero stakes so far in this book. That's not a problem in cozy fantasy, but it's sort of a killer in YA like this.
