The narrator of the audiobook does a great job with this one. Unfortunately, there are faaaaar to many info dumps in this one for me. I could feel the author speaking through the book to tell me what I need to know instead of the characters showing me. This kept me from getting invested in the characters even though Elliot and some of his companions were interesting to me. There were some well done scenes that started to draw me in but then another info dump would start. It felt like this story would have benefited from a prequel story to provide the background for what happens in this one. I’m mildly interested in what I set up for the next book despite all this, but doubt I will continue.
