I don’t know if it’s the audiobook, but this was super boring to me... I appreciate the themes and the message of the story, but honestly, I wanted to DNF it. I couldn’t make myself care for any of the characters.

Also, why isn’t the reader told anything about this ‘war’ that has apparently been going on and the ‘state’ that’s ruling the country? What kind of regime is it? What’s their ideology? And how did they become so powerful? Now, that’s a story I’m interested in. Obviously I get that this is a novella, so all of that stuff would’ve made for a much longer story. But at least it would be an interesting story.
