I liked it, but didn’t love it - many of us frequently say that in our reviews. I know I’ve said it enough. Sometimes that’s hard to adequately explain. In this case it was generally because I just wanted it to end, but at the same time I wanted to keep reading because I really did want to know what happened to the characters both in their past and present .

I have a copy from NetGalley but decided to have another try at him narrating his own work after not caring for his reading of his previous book.

This voice over is agonizing.
