Why was this such a struggle for me? The premise sounded awesome, but I could not follow the story nor connect with any of the characters. Perhaps audio isn’t the version to read this book, but the narrator seemed fine and I can’t pinpoint why it was lacking. Maybe the politics and scheming was too complicated to listen to while unpacking, though I haven’t had that problem with other books. If I hadn’t already added this book to multiple reading challenge prompts, I would have DNF-ed.
