I liked this audiobook less and less as I continued to listen. Once the narrator gets her chance to go on an exploration, the book lost most of my interest as it seems to become a series of episodes and typecasting of primitive people's religions. When the husband of the lead dies and I find it anticlimactic and leaves me uncaring something's not working . Also, I found the narrator's voice too much like a pretentious, condescending professor for me to enjoy listening to her read.
Graphic: Sexism and Misogyny
Moderate: Religious bigotry, Sexual harassment, Death, and Sexual assault

In general, I enjoyed the pacing of the book. It read like a autobiography but with Lady Trent's reflective musings throughout the telling of the story. The world building is solid though not terribly in-depth when not in use for the plot. All in all, I'll be reading the next book in the because series.
