3.5

slow-paced

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This just took forever to get going- I enjoyed the last 70%. I read this via audiobook and it was a bit hard to follow the narrative because it jumps around in time. If I was reading the book with my eyes, I could flip back to remind myself of dates mentioned at the beginning of each chapter, but that isn't very easy in audio.

There was also a lot of distracting noises in the audiobook like paper shuffling and heavy breathing that really diminished my enjoyment.
