All the reviews I've read for this, everyone seems to be loving it, but I had a hard time getting into it. I think part of the problem for me was that it seemed like there was too much going on for one book. The overall world building and the magic system was confusing, especially with the switching between so many different characters. Perhaps it's not the best story for audiobook format, either.

There is quite a bit of action, especially towards the end, so I was interested in seeing where the story went. Not sure if I'll continue with the series, though.
