I probably would have rated this higher if I read it instead of listening to the audiobook. The narrator had a pleasant voice but was so solemn and one-note for every single character, it was hard to tell who was speaking or if something was dialogue or narration.
I found it hard to connect with the characters, and it frequently felt a little overwritten, as if the author was trying to hit a certain word count. The buildup was slow and then all at once. Idk. I would recommend it but probably wouldn’t read it again.
