I really did not like this book. I feel like it was a more adult level reading of Avatar the Last Airbender, that by the end I had no reason to have listened to the last several hours, and the last hour was just a mess. For a standalone book it sure was odd how..
The story is good. But it didn’t hit the way I was expecting based on the rave reviews. The narrator was not excellent. Very monotone especially for how many characters are included.

I made it 13 hours in and just couldn’t finish it. Narration was ok but the story is just illogical.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t finish it yet and may never finish it. In fact, I’ll try to get a refund. The voice actor they chose for this story is unbearable. He sounds very professional and nice—but more like a medicine commercial or like he’s reading to a little kid at bed time. Not only..

way to much gnashing of teeth, palming of wounds. dialogue is adolescent at best. it was hard to maintain attention
