Unabridged Audiobook
The Paper Swan is my first time reading/listening to Leylah Attar\'s work, and I\'ll just go ahead and tell you that this woman definitely knows how to string some words together. Her writing is lyrical, maybe a little too wordy at times, but still lyrical. It flows so well, and while the narrators did a terrific job, I feel like I would\'ve thought the same thing if I\'d read it myself.\r\nThe story had me bouncing back and forth a bit. Not because the story isn\'t good. Not because there was anything wrong with the writing. Not because the narration was lacking. On the contrary, the story is dark and gritty as promised, which I like, the writing is quite good, and the narration is excellent. My problem lay in trying to connect with Skye. She drove me a little crazy, and I couldn\'t wrap my head around some of her actions. I also have to mention just how impressed I was with the narration. Shirl Rae and Zachary Webber knocked it out of the park. They capture the emotion and turmoil of this book perfectly, and I don\'t think Leylah Attar could\'ve chosen any better than these narrators.
This is a first by this author and I did enjoy it. Definitely would categorize it in a dark romance so if you enjoy them you should this one! I liked the characters, there are a few things I may have changed to make it better but overall it covered all the bases and was really interesting. I loved the male narrator but the female narrator didn’t match the character in my opinion but she still did a great job narrating.
