I honestly had zero clue what I was listening to. Maybe it would be better to have read it instead.

Just didn't get captivated by the characters or the plot. Boring. Ending was flat. The fact there were follow-ups to this book has me worried if it was to make up for this bad book or if the author just didn't know when enough was enough.
