I was so excited when I saw and got approved for the audio of The Maidens after having LOVED the Silent Patient so much, but this one lost me a little bit. It had a really strong start but then felt overwhelming with the amount of new characters being introduced all at one time. In addition, the narration wasn't my favorite, as I found it hard to stay engaged and interested - something I normally don't struggle with on audiobooks.

The male perspective was just unnecessary.
