emotional hopeful tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Solid book, I downloaded the audio book as I loved the series, it was good.

I think a lot of the key points are covered, I am glad I listened to this as I think I would have got bogged down in chess moves if I was reading it. 

Pace of the audio book was good and overall had a good time with it. 

Elizabeth harmon is a lot less fierce in the book, and I think I liked her more for it, she felt more real.
