It was just ok to me. It took too long to get to the meat and potatoes of the story, and when it finally did it went in so many different directions that it bordered on impossible, even for a novel. The audiobook was just ok as well. Part of that is due to the material itself–it's such a slow burn–but part of that was due to the narration itself. I just wasn‘t gripped by the story and the audiobook didn‘t help to draw me into the story.
