* Audio Review with physical companion *
Narrator: 4 Stars
Story: 4-4.5 stars
Overall: 4.25 Stars
I bought this book ages ago and it has been sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be devoured.
I listened to the audiobook while following and annotating the physical as well.
It did take me a few months to finish it, but that mostly fell on me and not the story.
I am grateful for the audio because, with such detail provided about the political hierarchy and world-building, I was able to remain on a steady pace and grasp the minor details as well.
The second half of the story is where the pace picks up and I felt more invested in the story and the characters. By the time I finished it, I was ready to dive straight into book two.
