I'm a HUGE Mistborn and Steelheart fan ... this however, just didn't quite click with me (despite references to it being a bit similar to The Princess Bride, another favorite). I was able to check out the audiobook from the library, and grabbed the ebook copy too ... NOT in Kindle format. Big disappointment to me, I'm a Kindle snob. Just so used to how it works, I love my highlights all kept together, etc. That can play a part in my feelings toward the book overall. It shouldn't ... but it often does. 

Six "Parts" with multiple chapters in each. Numbered chronologically, each chapter also had a header (which was included in the Table of Contents - thank you!) This was very conversational in tone, felt 3rd person for the most part ... the narrator did shift and speak TO the reader (you), and turns out the narrator is one of the characters (so actually 1st person when he is involved in the storyline, but mostly feels like 3rd person, telling a story about the other characters). 

Honestly ... it was all just a little TOO much. This completely different world, where the seas aren't made of water (in fact water/liquid reacts with the sea substance), there are kings and princes and pirates and talking rats and so many Dougs. I don't know if I was a little distracted while listening ... or wasn't able to access the text easily (not Kindle, I hate reading in Libby and if I'm listening in Libby then I actually have to stop, exit, change book formats, more work than it's worth and it makes me onery). While I feel like I had a basic grasp on the characters and the story, I never fully connected, didn't love them, didn't really care what was going to happen and how it would turn out. 

The narration was good ... a little over the top in spots, but not sure if that's the narrator or the writing. Some strange/silly voices were almost required, based on the characters. 

A couple words I track ... scowl, detritus
Quotes - "Knowing is not always believing" and "if not a red flag, at least a fuchsia streamer" and "The Dougs were shocked to hear she didn't know this. You might be too, as it was mentioned earlier in the story as clever foreshadowing" (pretty funny, if a little too much!) 
I'll have to check out the quotes section here on GoodReads - I'm sure there were other quotes worth highlighting, but ... no Kindle copy, as mentioned. 

Funny note, the day I started this (and don't go checking actual dates, because I 'may' have backdated this in my Goodreads record a bit) but I was doing the NYT Times Connections puzzle. We have a small family group chat, and my BIL struggled with the puzzle then wrote TRESS? Simple, it went with curl, lock, ringlet ... a bit of hair. He seemed unfamiliar with the word. Seems common in my reads "her golden tresses" type of thing. Just a funny coincidence in the timing.
