Very slow first half is building all of the parts you need for the satisfying climax and resolution. I very nearly quit and I'm glad I stuck it out. In hindsight as a fast reader, I should have read this as a paper book. The audiobook makes the slow first half excruciatingly slow for me, where it would have been speedier in print.
