If this had been book 1 and 8, 5 stars. lucky that I got the boxset for 1 credit, would probably not have bought book 2.
It feels like the same story told 6 times in book 2-7 with no progress in the story or characters. if listen to book 1 and 8, you won’t miss any character development or story plots to understand the ending and you would give the same summary as one who listen to all 8.
almost stopped listening, but just had it running doing other stuff and not once did I feel I lost track if I zoned out from listening.
