I started this as an audiobook and could not get into it. The second half I switched to reading the ebook and that went better! This book is aimed at YA readers and I like how the author writes so casually and authentically. What I struggled with at the beginning is there isn’t a consistent plot throughout the book - it jumps a lot between Persian myths, stories about his ancestors, and then his own memories as a child. I found it hard to follow when listening so I would recommend reading this over listening to it.
