Audiobook S1ut’s Reviews > The Phoenix and His Prince > Status Update

I'm only doing this because my friends gave it such high reviews, and it's free on audible right now, and I'm trying not to buy anymore books this month. The first book was not great. but a necessary stepping stone--everyone says you can just jump in like these are standalones, but those people are liars. These are not standalones by any means, I can't imagine picking this up w/o reading book 1 and 1.5.
