I first tried this book in English and as an e-book but couldn't get into it. I was dragging myself through it and it just didn't click so I put it down again. Then I saw spotify has an audiobook in my native language so I gave it a try while doing other things.
It took me a bit to get hooked but the new format made this much more digestable. As a result I found this story to be extremely deep and full. This book is carefully set up with twists you see coming and ones I personally didn't. It all comes together in the end and it's beautiful.
It had moments I was genuinely shocked from and on the edge of my seat for. Such an interesting story to follow. You just have to push through this different format and really I would recommend people to read in their native language. I am fluent in English but it just made it so much easier on me to listen to this in Dutch.
