I listened to this on audiobook and really enjoyed the full cast but I can’t get past the casual misogyny and the ideals that the author holds.

I was also sometimes bored during my listening, I’m not a big fan of training scenes and this was full of them.

I really really love this book, it’s definitely one of my favorites. But it’s low score is due to the anti-semitism, misogyny and so on. But otherwise, it’s a beautiful book.
