Listening note
The Valkyrie Cycle, Movement I (ACOTAR #6). length_hours to check at release: Kobo's 7 hrs 25 mins pre-order figure is NOT trusted (Kobo gives Book 7 an impossible 7 hrs 30 mins for ~896-928 pages — at least one is a placeholder). spotify_included to check at release (Books 1-5 charting on Spotify is a demand signal, not inclusion proof). Audible row is '1 credit / check price' per site rule — no Audible cash price recorded.
