My biggest gripe is the ending. I would have liked to see what happened directly after the events of the last chapter,  when
The Foundation is finally exposed
. Maybe the author left it ambiguous because in real life, those with money, power and privilege usually win.

I did a mix of audiobook and text. This book definitely gave me the spooks when reading it at night. It kept me curious and wanting more. It was a great mix of mental health, fact, and lore. The audiobook was cast well but the narrator didn’t always correctly capture the emotions. Id definitely give it a reread. 
An animal is effected in the book, check spoilers
No animals die in the book.

Does the ending wrap up? check spoiler:
Ending isn’t conclusive on all plot points
