3.5! Honestly, I had a REALLY hard time focusing on this audiobook. I even completely started it over when I was at 60% because I had no clue what was happening! Even listening again I don’t feel like I got everything out of it. 🥴 I don’t know what my issue was because I listened to her other two books and didn’t struggle at all. 

I think part of it was that there were so many characters they all ran together. I didn’t feel as connected to them as her other books. Also, each one has grown more technically intense, and my brain has a bit of trouble keeping up with all the science/technology of something like a nuclear power issue. I had trouble visualizing a lot of it (I still don’t understand sluice gates, lol!).

I still have to give it 4 stars because I think these are all “me” problems. If you like high stakes, science-minded, tightly plotted thriller/action novels that still pull at your heart strings, this is perfect. It’s obviously well researched and I will continue to read all of her books. I’m a little bummed to be caught up!
