DID NOT FINISH: 21%
The premise and the inclusion of sign language sound awesome, but I found the writing very dense and difficult to follow on audio. The narration was also quite flat and unengaging. This was part of the audible plus catalogue, so nothing lost, but I will be going for a print format if I pick up again in the future!

I liked this but it did drag at times. I'm also not sure that the ultimate ending is something I see as a positive.
