This was a quick and investing read. It left me wanting to know more. And the twist at the end was so good! I'll definitely be reading the next one.

I don't think I understood it. Maybe I'd do better reading rather than listening.

Solid 4 1/2 stars for me.

"Do you understand?"

Yes, I think I do Rabbit.

What a cool story immersed in a world steeped in culture, feminism and fantasy. I look forward to the follow up book When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain.
