The narrator was ok but not the most engaging ever. Having read the hardcopy years ago, I think the view switching made a lot more sense and flowed better with the visible spacing and pauses between paragraphs to switch views, it also added to the tension and action movie vibe.

Was recommended this book by my bf <3. Didn't start the book for a while as it's not my kind of thing, but once I did I read it within two days. I loved the writing and formatting of the book, the way the author educates you as the story continues. The action scenes (particularly loved the one with the Orca's), amazing characters and numerous plot twists kept me rapt. Very pleasantly surprised with this one.
