I requested this audiobook because I wanted to listen to it while reading the ebook version of this ARC. When I couldn't find the audiobook anywhere on Netgalley, I thought I would never get it so I started reading the ebook. Therefore, when I received this audio, I was surprised and a bit disappointed because I had already finished the story. I will copy the review I already shared here:


After reading the first 20%, I almost stopped reading this book completely. I was not impressed and it was a bit of a chore to read. I was thrown into a world were two people were against each other, one in hiding, the other in power but we didn't really know what happened before and I had no idea of the world we were in other than some sort of rebellion was happening. It didn't really appeal to me. But then, I gave myself three hours to start reading again and finish the book or be done with it. I also had a BR planned for it so it helped and I managed to finish the book. I'm glad I did but that doesn't mean I'm giving it four or five stars. I didn't hate Twin Daggers but I didn't love it either.

In Twin Daggers, you'll follow twin sisters (but get only one point of view). They are Magi and even though they're young and sometimes pretty stupid, they have been given spy missions. One is a messenger, the other will infiltrate a mechanic shop since she's good with mechanics. The thing is, the twins can do magic on machines but no one except their families know about it. If the Magi were to discover it, they would consider them a threat. And the Technocrats, well they consider all Magi enemies.

I liked the idea behind the Heartless. It was interesting and had potential. However, the twists were very predictable and I wish the bits of worldbuilding wouldn't have been thrown in in the middle or the end of the book as by that point, I didn't really care anymore and it slowed the pace too much. I wanted to know those things at the beginning. I liked the romance and I liked Aissa and Aro for the most part but the rest of the characters? Meh.

(Thank you for letting me read and review an ARC via Edelweiss)
