challenging dark slow-paced

2.5

Really cool concept but not a great execution. For short novels/novellas, plot-forward stories seem to work better for me as character-forward stories either feel like they’re just throwing everything they can at you or they give you the bare minimum to strike an emotional chord at the audience IF there is an existing bias. The final fight was so boring and the big emotional reunion fell flat. 

Audiobook may have not been the format for me as the accents were sometimes difficult to understand, but that’s what I had.
