Listening to this as an audiobook I didn’t enjoy it as much as reading the physical book. The book was well narrated, and Michael Sheen voiced the characters really well making them each their own, but I found the book to drag on quite a bit and a few chapters in there felt like they could have been redacted, and the build up to the flood took a lot longer than I anticipated. Aside from that this was a fun adventure and I look forward to the next book in the series.
