    May books with similar writing style never bless me again

    This feels pretty much like a first draft. Just thoughts laid out, unfiltered, vaguely structured, and extremely simple and at time redundant with tons of unnecessary fillers.

    I have not read any other Weir's work (and perhaps will not either) - are all of his books like this?

    Now, I can understand the intent - first-person POV, in-head monologues, exploration, remembering past events, … But I cannot get behind it.

    Random ADHD thought… If I were Elantrian or Arelene, I would name my child Rodeo šŸ˜‚

    Give me strength šŸ˜… I haven't even finished the first chapter of the audiobook and im struggling. I don't think this book was made to be listened to. There's already so many words that I don't know. Great for world building. Not great for immersion, when you have to pause ever minute to look up what a word means, which is also difficult when you don't know how it's spelt. Not to mention the narrator sounds like one you'd find on a documentary. Someone convince me to keep going 😭
