This was so interesting that it was easy to forget it was a fictionalized memoir of a fictional character. However, it started feeling slightly like a history book rather than a personal account as it came to a close. The narrator was wonderful, and I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this book as much if it wasn’t in the audio format.
