I loved the whole story except sometimes john sounded like a whimp. But not all the time!

The title says it all. I’ve been listening to this for a few months now. I can typically listen to around 30 hours each week because of how much I drive. I listen to this for a day or two, then have to find something else. When that book ends, I go back to this..
This book tries to do a lot of different things at the same time, and it suffers for it.It’s a scifi fantasy setting in a “not japan” country with supernatural samurais, family and political drama, a bit of a vigilante plot, greef and generational trauma.
