I listened to the audiobook, which might be part of the issue I had with "She who became the Sun". There were a lot of different characters and I was sometimes confused as to who was who and how they stood in relation to each other.

I genuinely think I would have enjoyed this better actually reading it rather than listening to it on audio, even if it would have taken me like. 5x as long to finish it
