Re-read: I've remembered most main plot lines of the novel, but not the ending, so I quite enjoyed it. Audiobooks are great quality, so I plan to listen to the whole series.

The world building is excellent but this first installment was quite slow and a bit boring. The characters are traveling the entire book with the same conflicts arising at every turn. I enjoyed the first half more, but the last 300 pages I just wanted them to get on with it.

I will say this was MUCH easier to experience as an audiobook with rosamund pike narrating. At least it took me less than a full year to finish it this way 😬

2025та маратон. Част 2. 800 страници. Няма нужда да е толкова. Наистина няма. Наистина.

Но пък поне не са 1300..!

Имам проблеми с книгата и всеки път става малко по-трудно да се чете за жалост. 3.5* сме в момента, но държа закръглянето нагоре. Много странен пейсинг има цялото нещо. Ма е готино неа кво... продължаваме напред скоро.
