Flotsam Trash is not me being snarky. I binged listened to this book and loved every minute of it. The script and narration synced perfectly. The first book introduced the world and the main character. The second book took that introduction and fleshed him out. Yes there is action, adventure, laughs, drama, character arcs, suspense and even a love story of sorts but the heart of the book is a deconstruction of the main character, who he is, was and a glimpse of what he will be. Trash is apt, because when everything taken from the character he forced to reflect on what got him and his world to this point which given the material is bleak but not depressing. Sure the main character not having a good time but you the listener will and for me at least that involved laughing a lot despite the darkness of the material.
