Listening to the audiobook added an extra depth to the story, since the names were pronounced correctly. I did find that some of the most violent scenes were really hard to get through.

I hope the next volume allows the author to solidify the worldbuilding and stabilize the pacing issue.
The blurb mentions that this is Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid’s Tale, but in my opinion, it has much more in common with Darling in the Franxx than Pacific Rim.
