adventurous challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found this listening experience to be truly distressing. The narrator was amazing but the brutality and relentlessness of the story made it genuinely unpleasant to consume. It put me in a bad mood! I checked to see how many hours were left 4 or 5 times. So I absolutely do not recommend this book for all of those reasons. But it is well written and the characters are compelling. Maybe I’m just not built for consuming this kind of violence.
