This book doesn't get an official 4 only because I felt the audiobook was difficult to follow. I loved the narration and felt submerged in the culture and atmosphere, but it was easy to get lost because the names and other things were not common to me.
However, the story as a whole and the things that happened caught my attention every time I listened to the book. That being said, I know the book is good and I was entertained, I just think having the physical book would've been beneficial in following the storyline completely.
The sci-fi aspects as AO continued to develop fascinated me. The action felt almost like a movie, so it was easy to re-engage during each listening session. Not necessarily something I'd likely have on my shelf, so in happy I had the audio, but the physical book would've assisted in the reading experience for me personally.
