The author is skilled in writing but is also too detailed. Listening to the audiobook, each chapter is 30+ minutes long, which is why there are so many content warnings listed. Some parts are very slow, some are fast paced. Some are tense, and some are relaxing. Overall a good read but needs paused often for a mental break from all the detail and heavy topics.
