I liked this one less than the previous one. Now, this is partly due to me listening to it instead of reading it myself, making it hard to keep straight who was who and what was going on. But also because again I found the pace a bit uneven but this time it bothered me more cause I felt less immersed in the culture (and the parts that were there were all awful) as well as Hole’s background. The narration definitely didn't help!
