Should have DNFd but had already listened to 60% so decided to stick it out. Felt like this was a prime example of a male author writing one dimensional female characters. Way more sex than expected and very caught off guard by a strangely placed simile of a mountain range being compared to “a woman with her legs open”. I was not invested in the charters nor the plot. Save your time and skip this one.
