This book is character and relationship development and it does a pretty good job at it. The first third did feel like a bulldozer of information but it evened out until the last few chapters. 
I would have like to have had longer character interaction but it didn't take away from setting up anything. 

Erin Mallon narrates Thea and while she is great at doing the other characters voices, she makes Thea and everything else sound like a bad newscastor reading a prompter for the first time. It's kind of like that one woman who saves the bees (the bee lady) who has a very even voice but pitches up at the end of every sentence. It's like that and becomes annoying. 

I will continue to the second book (in audio form) because I am interested in where the relationships go
