Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I just cant get into this on audio. Maybe text will work better. Narration is fine, it’s just that right from the start I’ve been so clueless as to what is going on with the bug horror and it’s super descriptive which usually I love for my mind’s eye. But I have no investment or context for it. It’s like if someone just started describing a bug-human hybrid to you in grotesque detail.
