5.0

Oh my gawd, I listened at x1.25 speed, not because it was slow, but because I needed to know what happened next. I stayed up way too late to hear the end, and I’m really happy that the ending wasn’t wrapped up neatly. The story was about characters who were a mess, and the ending matched. No winners.

10/10 would recommend.
