Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.

My library loan ran out. After the "twist" occurred I more or less lost interest; however, I still put a new hold on it. I'll probably finish it when I get it again.

Was not able to finish this audiobook because my library loan ran out and, despite initially having a waiting time if a few days, it's now like, 14 weeks. DNDing for now, but will come back once I can borrow it again

Was able to finish the book and - it just wasn't for me. With war tactics, multiple characters and pov jumps, this was a difficult audiobook to get through, though I'm not sure reading it would have been better. I still recognize the superb writing and hope to give this a better deserved rating
