Great performance of an OK finish

I really enjoyed the previous books from this series. I was very much looking forward to this book. Tim Gerard Reynolds does an amazing job as always and adds a lot of gravitas to everything happening. Unfortunately, the story really seemed to need it. It felt like most of the character interactions were completely irrational screaming sessions; everyone is just constantly talking past each other. You could tell that the author wanted everything to end, but it felt accomplished by first destroying everything we thought we knew about the way the characters previously behaved. Some of the changes are earned, but others seemed crazy. Harmony, in particular, spent most of the book having childish tantrums. Her brother has turned into a complete sociopath and had just lost any semblance of good that might have been there. Maybe I just missed a lot, but something felt off.

If you love arguments where neither person can effectively articulate their position and are willing to completely abandon previous feelings of love and respect in order to callously gaslight each other, this book is for you!

Narration was strange. Story was ok.

I enjoyed the end more than the beginning. The narration was stilted. Main character was unlikable. The world is interesting. Going through this series to get to the next series in the same world that is narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds who is always the best. On this book, there were strange pauses throughout that were distracting. The narrator does a very dry, almost monotone read.

spotty recording

This production house is typically amazing, but there are some strange issues with this reading. I think the readers must have been mispronouncing "hegemon" because the word is dubbed over in a really jarring way throughout the production. There were places were they couldn't agree on how to pronounce Achilles. The audio quality also seemed of compared to previous entries in the series.

I enjoyed more time with these characters very much. A few times I had to roll my eyes because the author's personal political evolution is shining through in ways unseen in previous works. Bean's exploration of the morality of abortion as an example. Didn't stop me from enjoying the story. Anyone who made it this far in the series has no reason to stop here.
