Good listen. Some of it went over my head but I’m sure I learned something.

I like how much the narrative style of the book changed throughout. Different parts of the book came across very differently because of the style it was written in.
There’s some parts that are slow, but then it’ll spike way up. Think of it like going to an all day sporting event. You walk around and explore the booths and the food, and then there’s a brilliant 30 minutes of qualifying. Then you wait a bit and then the event happens and it’s amazing! Repeat 1-2 more times.
Other minor things - as a monolingual American, it’s hard to track all of the four different Russian names given to the same character, so there’s some confusion on who is who throughout the book. A character guide would probably be good to look up.
Also, while the different voices for the different characters are great, they do suffer when you play the book at more than 1.2x speed, but that’s mostly to be expected.
Overall highly rated. Most of the book can be listened to while doing other things, but there’s some parts you’ll probably want to just sit and listen to.
