The plot itself has a lot of promise, and I do love what this author was trying to communicate in this work, but it was a struggle for me to get through it. The dialogue is fairly flat and somewhat generic, and the world building and descriptions were incredibly simple. The narrator did an admirable job, but I did have to up the speed because it was far too slow to follow along with. While it wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea, I’m sure there are plenty of people who would love this book.
