Loved the full cast production of the audiobook, but I didn't enjoy the overall story and structure of the book as much. It started off great and had good parts, but I wish it would have flowed and tied together a bit better. There were a lot of gaps for me, and it felt disjointed from chapter to chapter. I also wasn't a fan of the ending. I mean, for one, Miss Lupescu was a pretty important character, so the lack of explanation about what the Honor Guard was doing and how she died? I mean, really? And the way Bod's family handled (or didn't) his leaving and going out into the world? It just felt very lacking all around.
It was okay, but I didn't enjoy it as much I'd hoped I would.
