I met the author once at a bookstore I worked at when he came to sign copies of the latest books in this series. Everyone had said the series was really good, so eventually I downloaded the ebook and it sat in my app for a while. Finally got around to reading it, and wow - I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I'm not usually a huge sci fi person but this really kept my interest. The story is interesting, there are lots of characters, tonnes of twists and surprises, and it was genuinely super enjoyable. It helped that the audiobook narrator was FANTASTIC and actually changed his voice for different parts. Already borrowed the next one from the library!
