It wasn't very far into the book that I realised, that doing this on audio only was not ideal, but it was already too late to quit. It had sucked me in. So while I have a number of tiny little complaints, I can't accurately decide if they're about the book itself, or just the audiobook. That's not to say that there's anything actually wrong with the audiobook either, just that it's a bit too complex a story to feel comfortable in audio. The first time around at least. So I'll have to get a physical copy, and do an immersive read of it to get a better hold of it before writing a proper review.
