The misogyny was the main deterrent and I'm not sure why I pushed through to finish it because it sealed the deal on not wanting to continue the series in the future.

quil's review against another edition
2.5
Would have been entertaining if the main character didn’t sexualize every woman in the story. I was tired of hearing about all the erections and breasts pressing against him by the end. There was also a very tasteless and harmful comment the main character makes about a character’s appearance offhand that knocked the rating even further down for me. He arrived at someone’s house and says the door was answered by a “plump, round faced woman” who had developed a good personality “because the alternative was suicide.” I had to rewind a couple times to make sure I heard it right.
The audiobook narrator was really talented, otherwise I might not have finished the book.
