This is beautifully written and I am left with the sense that I enjoyed this book yet at the same time I’m not certain what I just listened to. Many reviews indicates this was hard to find the plot & keep up with the characters and while I agree to an extent, I was not frustrated by this experience. For me it represented the chaos and energy of the world of this book. I also didn’t feel it was necessary to immediately know “who, what, when & where” at the start of every new perspective, it felt obvious when the narrative shifted to a new storyline and I was happy to let it unfold. I do think I might have been more open to this because I listened to the book vs reading a hard copy. I would recommend audio to anyone who DNF this one.
