It was very entertaining but I think it would have been better if I read the physical book instead of the audiobook. The narrator wasn’t bad but his voice just didn’t seem to fit the characters, so it was hard to get invested

I love the way the author paints a quick story of all the side characters and not just the main characters so we have the whole story. It’s a very interesting way to write, and very difficult to do well without losing the readers attention. 

Overall the book was entertaining but nothing world shaking either
