Really bizarre little book. The overall message and representation is really good. Aside from that, I struggled with it. I am much older than the target audience which I think contributed to me having a hard time getting into it. Writing is very straightforward but I still found the story itself hard to follow at times. There is just so much bizarre going on and not enough familiar and jumping around to so many different characters and suddenly going through portals to new places. I read in one review that the text version has maps and I think that might have been helpful to reference when listening to the audio version. I did appreciate having a whole cast of voice actors to help with differentiating characters.
I won this book from a StoryGraph giveaway.
