I don’t know who the audience was meant to be.
I heard political shorthand without definition or context, and insults handed out regardless of political affiliation.
Whatever hope I held out to read this book is now smeared and disappointed. Tim Miller did reference Ruth Ben-Ghiat, maybe I’ll go read that next.

Instructor quotes from his own work regularly.
By no means the only books referenced, so it doesn’t truly diminish the lecture,

I really wanted to love this book, as I came to it immediately after Code Name Verity. [first in series]
This is a different narrator and a different style.

First, the narrator tried so many accents I found it difficult to follow from time to time.
Second, the narrator elongated verbs in suspense - as though taking longer to say a word heightened the dramatic tension. I don't agree with that as a style.
The story has a lot of poetry and songs. I wonder if I would've enjoyed it visually better, as hearing poetry (and a Capella, weak song skills) is not compelling to me.
What I liked best was maybe a third of the entire story. But if I find another book in this series, I'll give it a try!

Though it is less than an hour, the flat reading of this essay grated on me. I can hardly retain any of the information which was the reason I chose this title in the first place.
