Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Perfect Girlfriend [Audiobook] in Books

Jul 30, 2023

What a great debut novel this is! Great story, good pace and with some really good twists and with a narrator that only added to the story. Hayley Smith is definitely an author I will look out for in the future and thanks must go to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Perfect Girlfriend.

Kudos

Interesting start to the series

This was a really colourful and deep entrance to a new fantasy series by a debut author. I read this in a combination of paperback and audio, both were enjoyable. The cast of characters are many with three main contenders that each had me completely interested.

This is a fairly long and complex tale, with the occasional confusing moment that had me switching off audio to refer to the book and names of characters/magic/tribes. The index of these definitions of words was hugely helpful.

The story is full of intrigue, battles, magic, faiths, warring factions, desire and family. Nahri, a lowly girl with special abilities finds herself transported to a city of six dijinn tribes by a very powerful dijinn. Friendships, allegiances and wariness are formed as Nahri finds herself to be special and revered if she can only prove herself. The friendships are strong and central, whilst the budding romances on multiple fronts are subtle. So much happens and life is totally turned upside down by the end. The story is told from multiple POV.

I will definitely by reading the rest of the series, but I suspect the complexity will mean a re-read so that I can pick up book two. I highly recommend the audio, with superb narration.
