I listened to the audiobook through libro.fm's Librarian ALC program. First, let me say I really liked the narrator. I usually have to bump the speed up because 1x is too slow and doesn't sound natural. Samantha Hydeson sounded natural and expressive. wonderful to listen to.

I loved The Knight and the Moth. The world, the magic, the characters, and the prose are all what I expect from Rachel Gillig after The Shephard King duology. She did not disappoint. I found it reminiscent The Shephard King, but distinct enough to feel like a whole new, unique, and interesting experience. I guessed a few things pretty quickly, but I did not mind because they journey was well crafted. Journey over destination. I am very excited for the sequel.
