I feel simultaneously smarter and dumber having read this, and I’m delighted about it. The scope and depth of this world is incredible and, while slow and confusing at times, the mystery of the plot had a death grip on me. May have preferred reading the physical book instead of listening to the audiobook, only because the Chinese names and military locations were a little confusing to keep track of. But the audiobook itself was great!
