[audiobook]
i really ended up enjoying this more than i thought i would -- the length was really getting to me at first, especially with the secrecy and vagueness of the narration at the beginning of the book. it all pretty much made sense eventually though, and i really liked having multiple povs because it helped me to understand the stakes each person has in the ongoing plot. every chapter felt intentional, giving the reader insight into the values and histories of each character. i'm glad i stuck with it and will probably continue the series.
