I barely finished this book. The narrator was not my jam, and I couldn’t get into the plot at all. I did quite like the ending though

It was an okay read, but I wasn’t nearly as intrigued as I was with the first book. It also had a different narrator, which added to my disappointment. After a while, I got used to it, and he did well. Reading this while leading up to the 2024 presidential election, Chapter 28 came in strong with the truest statement of politics, “It is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are ipso facto, those least suited to do it.”
