I got about 5 hours into this. The voice actor was pretty darn good, one of the better I’ve listened to, and the sound engineering was phenomenal. The main characters are three-dimensional and well written. The fight scenes are incredibly choreographed and described too…

But the world that all of it is set in – and by extension the story – is a male fantasy. I can’t tell you exactly what it was… Maybe the way that the chapter after Marine’s POV was written? Maybe it was the harems? Maybe it was the way that all evil and good people were divided so clearly? Maybe it was the bath scene? I couldn’t say for certain. All I know is that the more I listened, the more I came to feel that this book was not written for me. I don’t think I recommend this book to any woman.
