Meh. I just kind of lost interest in this about 2/3 through. Might go back and finish it later, might not.

I really liked this despite the reaaaally long period of unnecessary description without action in the middle. Enough so that I'm grateful that I have something to move onto to read. Not sure why I'm in such a reading drought.

Harry Potter for adults indeed. Hubby came in the room just as the narrator used the f word and had to stop, lol. He didn't think audiobooks 'did' that.

Anyway, I liked this one better than the 1st. The author has hit his stride.

Despite avoiding this series because it was just too popular, I have to say that I truly enjoyed it. I never got the feeling that we 'knew' the MC, but the surrounding cast made up for that lack.
