It was ok. I had trouble figuring out which person's story we were on, and when in the timeline, it was taking place, which isn't usually an issue for me. I also thought the ending was pretty weak.

3.5 rounded up
It felt like a slow start to me, but it could be because I struggle sometimes with fiction on audio
It was a lot more engaging in the last half, probably because of the way the characters and their stories and histories finally took shape
