This book over all was pretty interesting and I think the concept is great. I thought the execution was a little bit lacking though. While I was listening to this book I felt that the main plot felt less developed than the smaller sub-plots. For me this led to have a few parts during the book where if felt like it was reaching a conclusion to the story and that the book could be done when I still have hours left to listen to. 

Lara did do a really good job at making the characters actions and motivations understandable and relatable. And also how the book ended was a perfect mix of wrapping the story up while also leaving so minor cliffhangers to be resolved in the next book.
